PREFACE. 



The publication here submitted is something new, unfolding 
from the bosom of humanity a happy and wonderful reforma- 
tion; the establishment of the principles by which the seed of 
Abraham are to be known in their proper houses and tribes,. 
through a fixed law, established from the beginning-, that all may 
know their house and tribe. This will bring to pass the noblest 
triumph and brightest days of our glorious progress we have- 
prayed for, as these mysterious links bind us to all earthly laws,. 
and, together, connects them with heavenly prophecies that have 
been promised the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in a way 
we may know and understand them. 

Whenever God's plans require it, there is brought together 
in an instant, as it seems by some developed condition, the very 
things which seem destined to remain forever lost; for instance,, 
the reason Avhy Jacob served so long for his wife, Rachel, was to 
bring to bear upon the mothers of the twelve tribes a fixed con- 
dition of intellect, that was to remain Avith them as a fixed seal 
of the intellect, or mark of the beast, as the house is usually 
called. Also our hands display the marks of the tribe we belong 
to. We give two illustrations of this fixed law of the intellect. 
If you belong to the tribe of Dan, or Issachar, which we find to 
be of very different intellects ; we find that the conditions under 
which the fathers of these tribes were born, fixed or controlled 
the greater portion of the tribe's adaptabilities in life, Gen. 30 :6. 
You will find where Rachel said, '*God hath judged me." She 
and her handmaid realized that it was God's will that brought 
her to this childless condition, and ealled his name Dan (meaning 
a judge). So Issachar means a hire or servant; the condition 



2 Bible Phrenology 

under which he was born proves this. So with all the tribes. 
We find in Gen. 49 :1 Jacob tells his sons what shall befall them 
in the last days. Not then, but in the future; 16th verse, "Dan 
:shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel." Issachar 
is still, in the last days, as his name implies, a servant. So this 
same mark or seal of intellect will be with them as tribes. Joseph 
was the ruler, Judah the lawmaker. And when we consider the 
origin of our Anglo-Saxon laws, we find they come from a people 
with the emblem of Joseph, the lion, Judah 's emblem, the 
unicorn — English emblems. So the law has not departed from 
Judah. Gen. 49 :9-12. is an illustration of our laws and customs 
of today. We have begun with the beginning and learned care- 
fully every promise, every nature and condition under Avhich 
each child, the father of the tribe, was born, and the name 
which was given each one is a key to its natural spiritual gift, 
as a tribe. Some will say, the chain of history is broken. That 
may be true ; but we can search until we find the missing links 
and join them together. Christ has taught us, "seek and ye shall 
find." These broken links were lost for a purpose, until the 
fullness of the Gentile time. This is the blindness Paul spoke 
about. We have spared neither time, labor nor money to in- 
vestigate a field of labor comparatively untouched by others, and 
found a key to a new development for others to enlarge upon 
in the future. We are removing a few old beliefs and customs 
the people have outgrown, which have become barriers to prog- 
ress and advancement. The tribes have been gathered together, 
representing the different churches, as we have stated elsewhere. 
AVe are not trying to establish a new church or belief. There 
are plenty to satisfy the most radical. 

We have taken the four wheels Ezekiel and the other prophets 
saw; that had wheels within wheels, and the living creatures 
were in the wheels, and placed them on the four different views 
of a man's head, with the organs phrenologically illustrated; 
thus composing the organs through which the spokes of the 
wheels passed— and found to our astonishment that it was the 
different natures and classes of people today that the phrenolo-

-gists have classified and have written so much about. We thus 
went back into ancient history as far as there is any to be found, 
and have found in the different nations these same people and 
the prophecies they were to fulfill in the last days. We have 
been fully persuaded this is a truth, though it has taken twelve 
years of careful study to prove so great a discovery ; yet we have 
long hesitated in presenting this to the public, until, like Jonah, 
we have been forced to proclaim it to the people, as pleasing the 
Lord. This new discovery will teach the dignity of human 
nature, and its indefinite possibilities for development in its 
proper channel, with nobler aspirations to attain divine heights 
from day to day. We will be able to look up, realizing that we 
are born to fill a divine space, and where we belong in this great 
l3ody of people, and our near relation to Uod. Our spiritual life 
is not a mystical contemplation of divine attributes beyond this 
life only, but the associated development of all that is good in 
liuman character and love. James 1 :1. Our work in life will be 
to see the twelve tribes of Israel all united, and carrying their 
hanners and wearing the signet stones of their tribes, singing 
the new song of Israel's return. Also the tribes of Esau and 
Ishmael will unite, and with others of God's people receive 
power, wisdom, riches, strength and happiness forever. 



INTRODUCTION. 



The four beasts so often mentioned, by the different Prophets, 
Ave explain in this manner: 

This world of people, or the nations, that sprang from Abra- 
ham, are held together by the power of attraction, as the magnet. 
To give a literal description, we will say, similar to a kaleido- 
■scope. We will not try to describe the size or dimensions, being 
too great to define, yet it is a good illustration to explain the 
fixed law by which each nation and each tribe are held in their 
respective callings by this fixed power, which we will call a Avail 
or partition, as the division of a kaleidoscope. This is the same 
power or fixed law that controls our intellect, and holds the dif- 
ferent organs of the head in their respective places. Also the 
members of our bodies have different callings, as our hands do 
one kind of work, our feet another. Both receive their life from 
your body. I. Cor. 12 :16 is a good illustration. 

This same wall or partition exists between the different 
nations; the Ishmaelites, Jews, Edomites, Gentiles. The Judean 
Jews, that took the bonds, the nation of ^Menasseh, was 
a free people, all drank of the same spirit. For this body or 
nation is not one member or tribe, but many tribes. Some of 
these tribes are more fortunately placed than others; some rep- 
resent the royalty in the top head, spoken of in this scripture as 
the eye, and the lower class, as the servants, being the foot ; and 
they do find much fault, when placed in the house or tribe 
as a servant, yet all work together for the good of the whole; 
so there is no schism. If you are called, being a servant, be 
content therein, for you could not be successful or hapjjy in any 
other calling. I. Cor. 12:31: "But covet earnestly your best 
gifts; show I unto you a more excellent way." 



6 Bible Phrenology 

This fixed law, which is God's seal, brings the different 
nations and tribes to a distinction peculiar to themselves, each 
having a different calling or labor to perform, which the other 
could not do, all working in harmony for the good of the whole. 
In doing this we do not have to destroy the partition, by inter- 
marriage, for that will have a bad effect and throw the kaleido- 
scope out of order, and mix the colors, destroying the real beauty, 
attraction and power of the inventor's plan, so with the people, 
in destroying the distinction of race lines, it is displeasing to our 
Creator, and confuses our own offspring by having nothing to 
restrain them in position and going about interferring with 
others they become wicked. The first account we have of this 
condition is Gen. 38 :7. Judah marrying the Canaanite wife 
the same as the white marrying the dark races now, who repre- 
sent the old nations before Abraham's sprang into being. God 
did not want this new people to become degenerated, and even 
caused a feeling of hatred to exist between the nations for this 
purpose ; Ezra, 9 :2-7 ; Nehemiah, 13 :23. We have an example 
that God is displeased with this confusing fixed law, by improper 
mixed marriages confusing the countenance and physical body 
as well. This has the same evil effect now as it did then. We 
must take heed of this in the future, or we will fall for lack of 
good and wise people. When we think of the increased number 
of insane, the weak, sick and deformed that are filling our differ- 
ent asylums, it makes one fear for the future. 

God's kaleidoscope is composed of precious souls, and colored 
by the spirit of God, which is represented by the precious stones ; 
each brilliant, they differ in their light and beauty as one star 
differeth from the other in glory. Th^ Lord gave to the Children 
of Israel the stones to identify the dift'erent tribes as a sign or 
emblem between the tribes, especially the spiritual body within 
us, and given to them in the same order in which they were born. 
All the prophets that had the privilege of seeing heavenly sights 
in a vision compared the spiritual light to the precious stones, 
and in the winding up of the prophetical period they are still 
the foundation stones. 



Introduction 7 

Now a kaleidoscope is of little value if motionless. It must 
have life, and motion. Turning over and over as this old earth

does, new rays appear, or children are born as in this kaleido- 
scope. This gives us a reason why if a child of English parents, 



8 Bible Phrenology 

and that of a Jew and an Irish parent, were born on the same 
day and hour, they are always different, never mixed, or their 
natures ehano^e because of the signs they were born under. The 
twelve signs belong to the House of Israel in one way. and affect 
the other nations almost in an opposite nature, as the rays do, 
because of the partition. This international kaleidoscope that 
Abraham was to be father of, began about 1910 B. C, and will 
have completed its revolution about 1910 A. D. ; that is a com- 
plete circle of time, as a year is complete from January to Jan- 
uary and a new year begins. This will complete the Gentile 
time-period. 

And this was their appearance: They four had the likeness 
cf a man. Daniel saw this same vision, the nations as a man with 
the head of gold. Ezekiel says he saw the four different views of 
the great man composed of living creatures, and calls the parti- 
tion or divisions cf the tribes wings, a fixed law they all had 
to obey, the same as the law of our body. AYe look upon this 
great man, and each tribe representing the different organs. 
The tribe of Judah represents the law to govom and keep the 
partition among the nations in repair, as the organ of firmness 
keeps us firm and decided in our business mind. The tribe of 
Teman beautifies our personal appearance as a nation, and so on, 
each one carrying out a good work for the benefit of the whole 
nation. Let us all work together in harmony. 

It is not commonly known that Abraham gave a portion of 
land to each nation. Ishmael was given Arabia ; Edom the Mount 
of Edom and a portion of the land about them, and he w^ould 
not let the Israelites pass through it at one time. The other 
lands are well known. Jere. 50:16: "And they shall turn every 
one to his own people. They shall liee every one to his own 
land." This will bring to pass the separation of families that is 
spoken of by Zach. 12 :42 ; Luke 11 :53, where they have not 
married in their own people or tribe. 

In regard to the precious stones in the House oi Edom, none 
has been given. AVe learn that these stones always represent the 
class of intellect or spirit of the Israelities. AVe, by our own 



Introduction 9 

authority, find the same law controls each alike, and place them 
in the same relation with the tribes of Edom, knowing this to 
be right. The stone gives the spiritual gift of the tribe. 

The Standards. 

The Israelite standards need explaining, as it is not generally 
understood what they were, and by them they are followed 
through history, and are of great importance to identify the 
tribes. When tracing up the origin of our flag, or the first that 
was ever known in history, we are referred to the standards of the 
Israelites. Num. 2 :2 : "Every man of the Children of Israel shall 
pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of his father's house." 
Now, the question is, what were these ensigns, or flags, like ? The 
•following is a description: "Gen. 49:9, "Judah is the lion' 
ichelp^^; Num. 23:24, "The people shall rise up as a great lion''' ; 
Num. 24:7, "He shall pour the water out of his buckets"; Num. 
24:8, "He has, as it were, the strength of a unicorn"; Isaiah 
19:8, "The fishes also shall mourn"; Isaiah 19:13, "Even they 
that are the stay of the tribe, ivise counselor"; Deut. 33:17, 
"His glory is like the hullocl', his horns are like the horns of a 
itnicorn, with them he Avill push the people together." Horns 
represent law and power. It will readily be seen without any 
further quotations that the twelve signs of the Zodiac were the 
emblems of the standards of Israel. Josephus also tells us that 
they were in some way related to the twelve signs of the months, 
or the twelve stones in the priest's breastnlace. They would 
seem a proper emblem; the thirteen stars that bowed down to 
Joseph in his dream, after passing through what he did for his 
brothers, and saved their lives in the famine. 

It seems strange, but true, that Joseph had this dream of the 
thirteen stars bowing down to him about 1792 B. C, and that 
about 1792 A. D. the Americans conceived our standard of the 
thirteen stars as the ensign or flag of our colonies. This is his- 
tory repeating itself. Moses discovers the promised land in 1492 
B. C. ; Columbus discovers America (promised Isles afar off) in 



10 Bible PhrenolGgij 

1492 A. D. Jacob blesses his sons, Gen. 49, tells them what 
shall befall them in the last days, and that Judah will be the 
lion's whelp, 1689 B. C; the English people were established 
with the lion and unicorn, 1689 A. D. Isaiah 42 :9 : "Behold, the 
former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; 
before they spring forth I tell yon of them." This proves that 
history was to repeat itself; it is the reason they could foretell. 
This new tribe phrenology is not in any way a new religion. 
It is a historical and scientific production of the different nations 
and tribes, by the nature and part they were to fulfill, also di- 
vided in their proper houses and tribes by a fixed law, the same 
that governs and controls the fruits and animals; which gives 
the first cause why the Jew differs from the Englishman or 
the Irishman and their origin; and by their fruits, nature and 
works you shall know them. It is necessary to have a clear view 
of the beginning before you can possibly hope to guess the end. 
St. Luke 12:20: ''There is nothing covered that shall not be re- 
vealed; neither hid that shall not be known." Daniel 12:6: 
"How lons' will it be to the end of these wonders?" 



HISTORY. 



In this short condensed history, it will be without comment; 
wall only give points of the fixed law and scripture reference. 
All the changes these people passed through did not change 
them ; only made an imy rovement upon them. Joseph was sold 
into Egypt as a slave, yet it was for the good of them all. He 
was not injured. The Israelites were caken in captivity for their 
good ; they became missionaries among their enemies and a shin- 
ing light. Paul says the casting away of Israel ^-^.'^ the reconcil- 
ing of the world to God, and he speaks also confidently of their 
return and the rejoicing. 

The Ishmaelites in the early days worshipped at one time 
the planet Jupiter, as it was supposed to be ruler over wealth, 
gold and silver, and at one time they were called Jupiterites, 
Jews from the word Jupiter, and they journeyed to the land of 
Canaan before the Israelites took possession. Therefore, Joso- 
phus is much confused in his history and gives each one's opinion 
that he might not lead the people wrong. Josephus was an in- 
spired historian. This will be known when he is properly un- 
derstood. The Ishmaelites took the name of Medians when they 
united with Abraham's family from his wife Keturah, who were 
very rich, calling themselves !Medes. The Persians are the higher 
class of the Ishmaelites, also the Russians. This is why there is 
such a similiarity between them. Gen. 37 :28. The Medianite 
merchants in this early time were called Ishmaelites. In Judges 
8 :22-26, we find their names mentioned together, as the Israelites 
had conquered the Medians and got their prey, for they had 
golden ear-rings because they were Ishmaelites. Later in history 
we learn that the Ishmaelites took the Israelites captive and also 
their name ; Psalms 83 :4. They have said, * ' Come, let us cut 



12 Bible Phrenology 

them off from being a nation." The tabernacles (or the nations) 
of Edom (or Esau) and the Ishmaelites, said, '*^Let us take to 
ourselves the House of God in possession," or the priesthood, 
which was called the House of God at that time. Now, this 
crafty or secret counsel it took some years to accomplish. The 
Israelites had become careless and disobedient toward God and 
he had told them they should not marry in the strange tribes, 
as he was making them a holy people unto his name, and in case 
they did disobey he would bring a strange people against them 
and they would become their servants ; Deut. 28th chapter. God 
caused these people to plan and take these people captives, and 
it was just as it should be. Obadiah, 1 :6, knew about this secret 
council and that Esau was one of the nations. Obad. 1 :18 says 
that Jacob should be a fire. This means a righteous people filled 
with the spirit of God. That Esau is as stubble, means that he 
will be so receptive to God's spirit that they will readily become 
one faith. As it is said in Isaac, ''shall the seed be called," the 
twin nations are to work in harmony. Obad. 1:21; "And Sav- 
iors shall come ut) to judge the Mount of Esau, and the kingdom 
shall be thj Lord's. When this great change of the priesthood 
came about it was seventy years after Israel had been taken 
captive, as God had planned beforehand, and a part of the plan 
was to change their names and begin a new history. Esau began 
with Romulus, and represented the rulers, while the Ishmaelites 
called themselves Israelites, as they were to have the priesthood. 
They planned to destroy all history relating to themselves that 
they thought would be detrimental to their plan. Yet Josephus 
and the Bible, with others, stood the fire ; Ezra 1. The priesthood 
was established by Cyrus, King of Persia, a direct descendant 
of the Ishmael house. We read in Isaiah 65 :1, "I am sought of 
them that asked not for me ; I am found of them that sought me 
not ; I said. Behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my 
name." The Persians were not called Israelites, and it so as- 
tonished the other nations they could not believe what the Israel- 
ites told them, Ezra 4:3, that they builded as Cyrus the King 
had told them, and stopped them from work until Darius, the 



History ' 13^ 

King, made a search for the roll of history. They went to the 
Medes rolls, yon will see, to find the authority, as other nations 
knew the Israelites were in bonds to them. When they fonnd 
for a certainty that the King of Persia had the power to build 
the house or temple, the Israelites were invited to do the build- 
ing in the beginning. It will be seen that while the Israelites, 
some of them, built the temple and restored the priesthood, as 
soon as the Persian Jews could learn enough about the priest- 
hood to handle it, they soon began to put the real Israelites out, 
and came out as the Sadducee and Pharisee Jews. So the pro- 
phecy, Isaiah 65:15, was fulfilled. "The Lord shall slay thee (as 
a nation) and call thee by another name (Anglo-Saxons), because 
the former troubles are forgotten they are hid from my eyes." 
66:19: "I will set a sign among them (lion and the unicorn), and 
will send them into a nation that draw the bow (Indians), to the 
isles afar off (England and America), that have not heard my 
fame (yet), neither has seen my glory; and they shall declare 
my glory among the Gentiles." We are called the Gentiles, and 
have become a Christian nation. Hosea 3:4, "And the Children 
of Israel shall abide many days without a prince, and without 
sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod." This 
is true of the American people. Afterward the children of Israel 
shall return and fear the Lord in his goodness in the latter days. 
The Anglo-Saxons have now fulfilled this period; no other na- 
tion can claim it ; Numbers 23 :25. There is no enchantment 
against Jacob. AYhat hath God wrought in these mysterious 
changes? Behold the people shall rise up as a great lion. God 
gave him the strength of the unicorn. These two emblems rep- 
resent law and government, and came up with the English peo- 
ple. They were led in paths they knew not, Isaiah 5 :15, and left 
their name for a curse, while they journeyed from the land. 
Jere. 50:20 says Judah's sins shall be sought and there will be 
none found. The nations of Ishmael Jews, with the priesthood, 
would often employ a real Israelite Jew to do the work of the 
priesthood while they traded and speculated and if one of these 
real Jews showed a little too much power, they would put him 



14 Bible Phrenology 

out. They finally became so rich and powerful they refused to 
pay their tithing to the Roman governors. Christ warned them 
that the priesthood would be taken from them and given to a 
nation bringin? forth e-reater fruit (or better results). The 
Romans up to this time had not paid much attention to the 
priesthood, having a style of worship of their own that descended 
from Job. Herod, Julius Caesar and Titus are all traced by 
liistory as Edomites, and it was in Titus' day the priesthood was 
taken to Rome. They are the last nation to have the priesthood, 
for they were to fulfill the prophecy, Malachi 1 :3, and they 
"have done so. 

Jeremiah 25 :2 also shows by his baskets of figs that there are 
two kinds of Jews, and with close application to the general 
outcome of these two kinds of people no one need be blind as 
to who they were. Just before the end of the seventy years of 
captivity. Id. 27, the Lord said unto Judah, "Make the bonds 
and yokes, put them upon thy neck, and send them to the Kings 
of Edom, and all the other Kings, Tyrus, which is Cyrus, King 
of Persia. Thus all nations shall serve him, his son, and son's 
•sons, until the very time of his (Judah 's) land comes," (due), 
or fulfillment of the Gentile time, or the other nations had the 
priesthood their allotted time. As all the seed of Abraham was 
to be blessed, and they had to learn through the priesthood as 
did Israel, learn to obey a law, which is called the schoolmaster. 
Now, if they had to learn to know the laws of God by the 
priesthood, the other nations did also, as they could not all have 
it at the same time. We learn that all that took the bonds were 
good figs, or Jews, and were protected ; Jere. 29 :28. This captiv- 
ity of the bonds was to be long, and they were to build and plan, 
and be a humble people, not try to establish a kingdom at that 
time, but in a distant country, as already stated. They should 
3oin their stick, Ezkl. 37:17, (lion and unicorn), and their com- 
panion tribe, and become one nation. This has been fulfilled by 
the English people, also run over the wall into America, where 
the Indian draws the bow, and has been without a king, which 
also has been mentioned. 



History ' 15 

Ezra 2 :62 gives us the record of the evil figs that did not 
lake the bonds, that took Judah's name and has it to this day. 
There were included with them children of Solomon's servants, 
the lowest caste. They sought their register, reckoned by gene- 
ology, but it was not found. In the ninth chapter these that 
claimed to be Levites were a spurious offspring with spoiled 
and confused features. True, there was a portion of the true 
seed that helped to restore the priesthood, as God had directed 
them to do, and they were servants to these people and did only 
w^hat they were asked to do, as any servant. When Nehemiah, 
9 :36, comes to help straighten them up, ten years later, he finds 
the same kind of people to deal with. He says, "Behold, we are 
servants this day in the land thou gavest unto our fathers, and 
it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hath set 
over us, because of our sins; they have dominion over our 
bodies." Nehemiah in the tenth chapter tells about the bonds 
they took, and gives many of their names, which shows a contrast 
between the two baskets of figs. 

Zephaniah, 3:19-20: "Behold I will undo all that afflict them, 
I will get them praise and fame in every land, among the people 
of the earth, when I turn back their captivity" (of the bonds), 
at the time they expire at the fulfillment of the Gentile time. 
Isiah, 27:12: "And it shall come to pass, ye shall be gathered 
together one by one, ye Children of Israel." Id. 61:9: "And 
all that see them shall acknowledge them that they are the seed 
which the Lord hath blessed, and the tribes of Dan shall judge 
liis people as the tribes of Israel in the last days. ' ' 

This has been going on since the founding of phrenology, 
yet they had not got to the point of locating them as the tribes. 
If there had not been a fixed law, which is God's seal, ruling the 
intellect of the people from the beginning, there would be no 
w^ay of reading the character and foretelling the future, if the 
laws of the intellect were not reliable and always the same, and 
subject only to culture and refinement, and vice versa. 

If it were possible for the people to understand that there 
were two kinds of peonle called Jews there would be some hope 



16 Bible Plirenology 

of removing this blindness in history. The historians were 
blind, so they have been leading us blindly. Romans 2 -.28 tells 
plainly that the circumcision represents the Ishmael Jews, which 
is one outwardly in the flesh. Sarah and the handmaid planned 
this birth, the natural way of the flesh. That is why it is called 
the fleshy covenant, and was not the promised seed; quite a 
difference between the preparation of the promised seed Isaac. 
God sent his spirit as an angel which gave power to this seed, 
and it was properly called the spiritual seed or everlastin.^ 
covenant. Paul tells you not because they are of Abraham 
alone are they Israel but in Isaac ; and I tell you the difference 
was between the two mothers. The seed of Isaac was circumcised, 
but only as the seed of Abraham ; not required as a covenent, 
and ended with that dispensation. They never were particular 
whether they circumscised or not ; but when the Ishmael Jews 
came in power of the priesthood, they began to compel the 
people to circumcise, while the Israelite Jews soon forgot, be- 
cause it was written on their hearts to sereve the Lord in spirit 
and in truth. In Romans 11 :4 we learn of Paul that there 
were seven thousand men alone in his day who had not bowed 
the knee to Baal, and no doubt there were as many more women 
and children. So do not believe that they were destroyed and 
consumed by other nations, for it is not true. The very highest 
caste of people is where you will find them. The reason there 
was nothing said about them for so long, God has said that their 
remembrance should cease from among men, for they have been 
called by another name, and cut off from the priesthood that they 
would be free to accept' the new,covenent of Christ, and the 
wild olives (Rom. 11) were grafted into the old root, or priest- 
hood, and they were boasting about it. 

Romans 11:25: "I would not, brethren, that ye should be 
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own 
conceit." This shows that Paul knew who the Israelites were, 
also knew that the time was not yet fulfilled for them to be 
restored in power, and said to them, ''This blindness in part has 
happened to Israel until the fulfillment of the Gentile time," 



History 17 

which means the Roman Gentiles with the priesthood their allot- 
ted time. They had at that time only fairly started. Romans 
9 :24 : ' ' He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the 
Gentiles. I will call them my people, which were not my people ; 
her beloved which was not beloved" (who was Esau) ; ''they 
shall be called the children of the living God." The Roman 
Gentiles are to be blessed equally with the Israelites.

The House of Jacol Fhrenolocj'icalhj lUusfrafeel. 



HOUSE or JACOB. 

Genesis 25:27. 

• 

Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents, much different 
from his brother, because he was to be father of a different kind 
of people. They were shepherds and tilled the ground for their 
living. This house is located in the organ of executive power, 
meaning mental power, to acquire knowledge, education, money, 
or possessing anything the mind may apply to, and from the 
tribes of Israel we have reeived our Bible and spiritual teachings. 
In Deut. 1 :13-17 we learn that the Israelites had a government 
something as our own. They chose their wisest men, and made 
them captains (or presidents) over thousands, captains over hun- 
dreds (our states), captains over fifties (our county officers), 
captains over ten (our cities). They also had their judges to 
hear the causes between their brothers, and they were cautioned 
to judge righteously, in the same way as we, a Christian nation, 
are supposed to judge. History repeats itself. Daniel Webster, 
the originator of our state and county laws, was of the tribe of 
Judah, God's lawmaker. So we are still under Judean laws as a 
government. 

David Pulson, M. D., made a few discoveries worth com- 
menting upon in regard to the increase of imbeciles, lunatics, 
etc., increasing 300 per cent, in fifty years, and in England the 
proportion is much higher. He says: "The average youthful 
criminal invariably possesses well-marked deformities of the head 
and face, such as peculiar clubbed fingers, abnormal shaped ears 
and teeth, and many other deformities, as mental defects and 
physical weakness." This is fulfilling the prophesies spoken of 
by Esdras, fifth chanter, "And women shall bring forth mon- 
sters." As wickedness increases the inter-marriage of the dif- 



20 Bihle Phrenology 

ferent nations, is one great cause of this, m fact, greater 
than any other one thing; as it confuses the face and the whole 
mental and physical structure. Men and women have become 
afraid to marry, and they cannot be blamed, because of the great 
confusion that confronts the people. Jere. 50:16: "When we 
know who our people are they shall turn every one to his own 
people," or tribe. -■ 

Cast of Tribe Character. 

We have aimed to compose the tribe nature at mature age. 
As children they pass through many changes, and require an 
educated eye to locate the tribe ; although many are very distinct 
at birth, and as easily known as you could tell a shepherd puj^py 
from a New Foundland. There are so many degrees of develop- 
ment that we cannot cover them all, and adhere to the leading 
points of character that predominate in each as a tribe. Environ- 
ments and educational advantages make the greatest difference 
between persons of the same tribe, even more in regard to ability 
than the sex. There is a class we can say, w^ith Hosea, 5 :7, 
"They have begotten strange children, to a confusing of faces 
and intellect," and this class of people will naturally belong in 
the house of Manasseh as they are a mixed nation, and found 
most numerous among the Mormons, also among the Welsh. 

Many of the tribes of Simeon are found among the Spanish 
people, Zebulun with the French, yet among the English, Amer- 
icans and Germans is where the Israelites are principally.

TRIBi: OF JUDAH. 

(Meaning praise to God and Spiritual Law.) 



Birth of Tribe — 
Gen. 29:3. 



History — 

Gen. 44; 49:8-12. 

Deut. 33:7. 

Psalms 108:8; 60:7. 




You belong to the tribe of Judah, 
located phrenologically on the head in 
the organs of firmness, conscientiousness 
and sublimity. These people cannot be 
driven ; are not easily convinced they 
are wrong in anything, and generally 
carry their point by a quiet, persistent 
effort if need be; are positive in their 
conversation and business life. 

Intellectually. 



DEWITr TALMAGE. 



They have a fine, deep, interior na- 
ture and religious faith; a high idea of 
life, love and harmony of words, beauty and social excellency. 
They usually possess a love of doing good. They are conscienti- 
ous, with large hope, veneration and sublimity. This gives them 
great command of words as orators. When language is large 
they are powerful speakers and lawyers. This is their spiritual 
tribe gift. They stand at the head of the literary world, as they 
are found in the greatest numbers among the lawyers, ministers, 
politicians and public speakers on various lines of advanced 
thought. This oratorical tribe gift has been handed down from 
the father of the tribe as a seal or fixed law of their intellectual 
power as a tribe. For proof read the pathetic appeal made by 
Judah in behalf of his brother, Benjamin, Gen. 44; Psalms 
108 :8 ; also Josephus, in his account of this same circumstance, 
marveled at its grandeur. He said it seemed Judah had prepared 
for the occasion, yet that was not the case. These people are 



22 Bihle Phrenology 

benevolent and kind to the oppressed. In business they can force 
into existence almost any Dlan they undertake. They are lovers 
of art and education, as their power and business success is along 
this line : also stock raising and farming on a large plan. They 
do not belong to the element that are called Jews today, that are 
gifted in trade and mercantile pursuits, w^ho say they are Jews. 
(Rev. 2 :9 ; 3 :9, says they are not). God has gifted them for the 
higher walks of life. 

Disposition. 

They are reserved and thoughtful, yet watchful in all things 
pertaining to their advancement. They are quiet, unswerving, 
dignified, ambitious and energetic in their own interests, quick 
in thought, having a good business mind. They should choose 
their business, fo^r their life work, from the literary, scienti- 
fic and commercial w^orld. Women and men have the same gifts 
and should be educated alike until choosing- a profession; there 
are as many professions suitable for women as there are for 
men. They can quietly bear down circumstances that hinder 
their advancement. See Gen. 49 ;8-12. Women are very useful 
members in society and are often found among the advanced 
thinkers and reformers, also engaged in charitable works, as 
teachers and instructors. These people should guard against too 
great firmness in their home life, as it often retards their own 
happiness, causing their loved ones to shrink from them, their 
powder being too strong for manv to endure. These people do 
not care much for domestic work, as a rule. They are not a 
domestic tribe, unless crossed with other tribes that modify their 
nature. Those that are uneducated are very unhappy and 
chanageable in business or labor, and are unreliable, unless they 
have received early domestic training; they then become very 
systematic and good housekeepers. They enjoy servants and 
exhibit the royalty of the hou^-^ of Jacob. This tribe of people 
are liable to spend money too freely, yet they seldom come to 
want, for they are good in business plans. If one does not pay 
they take up another and are usually found on the prosperous 
side of life. They should be taught, while young, the proper use 



Hoiise of Jacob 23 

of money, for it is hard for them to learn self-denial. This 
would be worth more to them than money, as they are liable to 
spend a fortune, if they have it, before they learn to economize. 
The following are of this tribe: 

Daniel Webster, lawyer. 

Dr. Talmage, minister. 

William Gladstone. 

Miss Anna Gordon, temperance lecturer. 

Elizabeth M. Chandler, poetess. 

Rear Admiral Sampson. 

These people have an experience in life similar to that of 
Judah, the son of Jacob, the father of the tribe. They do con- 
siderable pleading for justice between man and man. As a 
whole they are a fine and useful people. This tribe, fhrough 
Webster, was the originator of our state laws, also school laws 
and many others. They have fulfilled the prophecy in Gen. 
45:10, that the sceptre (or law) shall not depart from Judah, 
for they are still with us, and their laws are founded on the 
Bible and the old Israelite laws as in the beginning. 

Described. 

They are usually of medium stature with strong set features, 
rather short strong nose (those crossed with Benjamin have 
more prominent noses), gray or brown eyes, strong expressive 
features in general, deep-cut wrinkles in face at mature age, 
fough and wiry make-u^, dark complexion, unless crossed with 
the tribes of Levi or Joseph ; this may lighten the complexion 
and hair. Many are lacking in personal appearance from lack 
of approbativeness and self-esteem. When this is apparent they 
should cultivate personal appearance every day. 

They are attracted in marriagre to the tribes of Issachar, Dan 
and Naphtali. They dress in dark, but good material ; at mature 
age. solid colored goods that looks firm and strong. 

Their sacred stone is the emerald, Ex. 39 :11. Language of 
the stone is hope in law and spiritual power. 

Their emblem is Capricornus representing law, by the horn, 
and spiritual strength, this being the tribe gift.

TRIBE or JOSEPH. 

(Meaning adding together, or a ruler.) 



Birth of Tribe — 
Gen. 30:24. 



History — • 

Gen. 49:22. 
Deut. 33:13. 
Gen. 37. 




RUSSEL SAGE. 



You belong to the tribe of Joseph, 
located on the head in the organs of self- 
esteem, approbativeness, cautiousness 
and secretiveness. These people are very 
dignified, high minded, ambitious, cau- 
tious and careful of the personal ap- 
pearance, proud of their ability, when 
educated aspiring in the highest degree. 
If not restrained by strong reasoning 
faculties they are liable to become con- 
ceited, criticising and overbearinor, yet 
when properly cultured they have the 
noblest minds of all the tribes, and are 
capable of holding the highest positions in the power of man or 
woman. AYhen disappointments come and reverses, they go to 
extremes, becoming too humble, and depreciate themselves by 
losing confidence, and think that others look at them the same 
w^ay. They are disposed to seclude themselves from the world 
and the people. AYomen often shut themselves up in a room, 
feeling sick and wretched. This represents the period in their 
lives when Joseph was in the pit, as their troubles come upon 
them more through their own families and relations, as did 
Joseph's from his criticising nature they would not endure. This 
tribe passes through circumstances similar to those which Joseph 
passed through, though not so historical, but in the main will 
repepat the history of Joseph, and, like him, will come out ahead. 



House of Jacob 25 

Like Joseph, they see all their brothers' faults, which is the 
foundation of this critical nature, which still follows this tribe, 
of people and is their tribe gift— a ruler. If they did not see 
the faults of the people and were not able to give commands, 
they would not be gifted as a ruler. To give command is their 
gift. AA^hat they most need is a proper understanding of them- 
selves, and how and when to exercise this gift. It is a very try- 
ing and tiresome position, esnecially when not educated, to un- 
derstand how to handle themselves in harmony with others that 
are their equals or superiors through education and long experi- 
ence in life. They will contend and object to their ruling them. 
This is why Joseph's brothers objected to him, and for the same 
reason, in later years, when he had received education and 
knowledge, they bowed themselves down to him. This is why 
this tribe should receive the highest training and be educated 
away from home as Joseph was. 

As children they are very hard to handle. They cannot see 
why they should obey others. They think, rather, that others 
should obey them. This often follows them through life and is 
the cause of much of their trouble. They are not able to unuer- 
stand their inability and lack of knowledge nor the necessity of 
cultivating the art of making it pleasant for others as well as to 
cultivate music or art. They should also study the rights and 
privileges of those around them. 

Intellectually. 

These people are very critical in philosophical reasoning; not 
satisfied with moderate success, but aspire to stand at the head 
of their class or profession, and this is their right and proper 
position, and they should be educated for the highest positions 
known to man, yet they have a feeling of fear and shrink from 
responsibility that requires labor. They are eminent as kings, 
generals, astronomers, mineralogists, naturalists, engineers, ex- 
plores and writers, and many of the sciences are taught by them. 
Those without the proper education succeed best on the line of 



26 Bible Phrenology 

handlincr iron, steel, gold, silver, sharp-edged tools, firearms and 
ammunition, and mining, when compelled to work. They are sci- 
entific in their religion ; act and speak from their fine interior 
nature, and with proper culture should represent the dignity 
and pride of principle among the people, as the organ of self- 
esteem gives these qualities to the intellect of each person. The 
tribe of Joseph stands for this element among the great body 
of people, to give them pride and honor of principle, unless this 
noble nature becomes perverted (which is sometimes the case). 
They will then tear down and destroy principles and laws estab- 
lished by others. These people think a great deal of anything- 
they possess; are watchful, careful and saving; feel somewhat 
as Joseph did when preparing for the seven years' famine. They 
also suffer many troubles and misfortunes through the opposite 
sex, from one cause or another, yet are very influential with them 
when properly understood. 

Disposition. 

They will let their wants be known at the first opportunity 
and expect promptness in response ; are kind and affectionate ; 
have a desire to be appreciated; can excel in gallantry when 
they desire; polite and agreeable in manner when things are 
going their way ; very sad and unhappy in reverses. These 
around them will share their troubles, as they are not able to 
hide their feelings long at a time, yet their business and money 
matters are handled with considerable secrecy ; when sick, im- 
patient under suffering; can be cutting in their remarks, but 
sorry for it soon after. They are good in prophesying coming 
evil events. Their fine intuition enables them to be very correct. 
As actors, public speakers and ministers they are very earnest 
and pathetic in style, which makes them successful in these pro- 
fessions. They are not happy as servants, not belonging to that 
class or tribe, yet are honest and faithful if they do work. As 
children they are very restless and require constant care and 
attention, and, usually, if net sent off to school, they leave home 



House of Jacoh ' 27 

early and grow up among strangers. They do much better if 
educated away from home where they do not expect any sym 
pathy. As children they do not know themselves any better than 
those about them, therefore should be treated with care and con- 
sideration. By severe discipline their minds become perverted, 
then they appear rude ; many times think they are bad because 
of the treatment they receive and become discouraged until late 
in life. The following are of this tribe : 

Ex-President Harrison. 

Thomas Say, founder of natural science in the Academy at 
Philadelphia. 

Maria Mitchell, a noted astronomer. 

William of England, the Red King. 

Frederick I. and Frederick II., the great Kings. 

Napoleon Bonaparte. 

Women are the same as men in ability when educated the 
same. Queen Victoria was Joseph and Issachar. Her ruling was 
as noted and wise as that of the men Kings. The intellect of 
women has not been brought out, as yet, to their full power, 
through force of habit and education. As a rule they are very 
devoted to their homes and families. They do not take kindly 
to the coarser kinds of domestic labor, yet they are very com- 
manding with those around them and even severe if anything is 
disturbed by others. These people are fond of fine horses and 
public appearance when circumstances will -^ermit. Crossed 
with Dan or Xaphtali modifies this commanding nature. They 
are good critics in many ways and in law. 

Described. 

In appearance they are very dignified ; of noble bearing ; 
have high self-esteem, prominent nose, long chin, blue eyes, not 
large, hair golden red or light brown, often curly, sanguine tem- 
perment. Those crossed with Zebulun have darker hair and 
eyea ; crossed with Xaphtali shortens the stature and gives more 
prominent eyes. They are very sensitive to praise or blame, 



28 Bible Phrenology 

cannot endure censure ; also their flesh is tender to the touch and 
they wrinkle early. They suffer much annoyance or seem irrit- 
able at what others might think was nothing to take notice of. 
This tribe is attracted in marriage to the tribes of Dan, Asher, 
Nar>htali and Zehulun, seldom marrying in any other. Many 
remain single. They dress in rich royal shades, good, fine ma- 
terial. Joseph's coat of many colors is much displayed in their 
youthful days. They dress darker as they advance in age. Their 
memoral stone is the onyx, Ex. 39 :13, a red stone signifying in 
language masculine love of power to rule.

TRIBE OF BENJAMIN. 

(Meaning right hand or rig^hteous honor.) 



Birth of Tribe — 
Gen. 35:18. 



History — 

Gen. 49:27. 
Gen. 43; 44. 
Deut. 33:12. 
I. Sam. 9:2. 




H. L. BOARDMAN. 



Yon belong to the tribe of Benjamin, 
located on the head in the organs of con- 
tinuity, friendship and conscientious- 
ness. This gives this tribe of people the 
characteristic nature of continuino^ at 
anything begun until finished. They 
may not always want to stick to w^hat 
others put them at. There is a tendency 
to sameness in dress and personal ap- 
pearance; do not enjoy too sudden 
changes in fashions and are not easily 
led off from their natural way by new 
fads and sayings, as they are rather 
cautious and careful how they express themselves, that they may 
not be misunderstood. This is why they are much sought after 
by others in points of business and quick decision, as they can 
concentrate all their faculties upon one subject, therefore, noted 
for tact and thoroughness in their studies or business life. 

Intellectually. 

Their minds are very fine. They are studious and discrimin- 
ating in all departments of study; quick mentally, but rather 
slow in physical labor ; often feel labor a heavy burden, as they 
are endowed to use their mental powers for their life -vyork. Yet 
they are careful and reliable in any labor they do perform. They 



30 . Bible Phrenology 

are very ingenious with the pen, brush and needle. Their judg- 
ment of color, weight and size is usually excellent ; can excel as 
artists, chemists and are good critics of art and books; are good 
at proof reading, telegraphy, sculpture and shorthand; good at 
anything requiring the use of words, yet are often deficient in 
mathematics. "Women are excellent in fancy work and orna- 
mental designing, millinery and art and as florists, and are much 
the same as men when given the same education and train- 
ing. This tribe is very scientific in thought, and its mem- 
bers are eminent as physicians, naturalists, writers editors, man- 
agers of business concerns, architects, engravers, musicians and 
singers. They have considerable ability as rulers. Saul, first 
King of Israel, was of this tribe, and very unassuming, which 
is a part of their nature. They can be rather despotic when 
conditions demand it and make good statesmen when chosen 
to fill an office, as they seldom seek a position, having large 
conscientiousness, which prevents them, many times, from 
branching out in public life, as it is in these days. 

Disposition. 

They are inclined to be witty and pleasant. They are kind 
and faithful as friends. Judges 20:12-13. This tribe's great 
friendship for their own people caused them to refuse to give up 
the guilty parties, which caused them a grreat war. The dis- 
honest people cause them much trouble through friendship, in 
which they should be careful, as in some circumstances they suf- 
fer great losses. When properly cultured, as ministers and 
orators, are very fluent, practical and interesting, as tliey have 
great aptitude jn elocution. When their vocal organs are natural 
they are fine teachers of language and music. Through their 
quick judgment of form, can, at a glance, decide at once what is 
"best and right, especially in their own lines of work. When 
religious, are very true to their faith and very sympathetic and 
kind to the poor. They rather laugh off anything as long as 
possible, but high-temoered and even cruelj -when -they feel com- 



House of Jacob 31 

pelled by circumstances to act in that manner, yet you will find 
these people very truthful under many trying circumstanes, even 
to their own loss. Yet, if their nature is perverted with the evil 
influence of the world they may be just the opposite for a time. 
The people that represent this tribe pass through circumstances 
similar to those which Benjamin, the father of the tribe, passed 
through; they are taken from home early in life, through the 
influence of others. In some way their circumstances cause it. 
Friendship is their spiritual tribe gift, and you will find they 
liave great influence in bringing about friendship between the 
people wherever they go, as Benjamin was held for a pledge oy 
Joseph, his brother, until friendship between the brothers was 
restored. They are even placced in strange circumstances in re- 
gard to property or money, as was Benjamin with the silver cup 
in his sack of orrain. The circumstances occur without their 
knowledge and will trouble them much. History repeats itself. 
It will be the tribe of Benjamin that will win the national cup 
from America, which will reveal the lost tribe, as Joseph was 
revealed to his brothers. The time is drawing near. This is the 
■same cup with a new name. These people handle a good deal of 
money and lose considerable, yet are prosperous through their 
steadfastness to business and principles. Gen. 49 :27 : " He shall 
raven as a wolf," represents their great activity and determin- 
ation to prosper, and at the end of life they can divide their 
spoils or money. They are saving and economical in their habits 
at mature age, but not stingy. They often become wealthy when 
in their proper sphere of usefulness. They are apt to be peculiar 
about their diet from childhood ; have decided likes and dislikes. 
They should abstain from too highly seasoned food and stimulat- 
ing drinks, which will ruin the digestion and blunt the intellect. 
They should be educated along the lines of literary and scientific 
pursuits, as they have a love of stateliness and elegance around 
them, as they are of the royal line of the house of Jacob. Their 
early training has much to do with their order and neatness in 
domestic life. They never stay down in life. They are like gold ; 
you know how to value them. Their continuity does not prevent 



32 Bible Phrenology 

them from traveling. They often change too much, or, in other 
words, when they begin to travel continuity keeps them at it. 
Those who find this to be their condition, and enjoy it, should at 
once fit themselves for a traveling business or as agents. The 
following are of this tribe : 

Queen Elizabeth, the friend and promoter of literature. 

Paul the Apostle, Romans 11 :1. 

Laura C. Halloway, authoress. 

J. E. B. Stuart, general. 

Bill Nye, comic writer. 

Described. 

They are well proportioned, tall, light or medium complexion, 
strong deeD-cut features, blue eyes, and, as a rule, prominent 
upper teeth ; many are left-handed : rather narrow through the 
temples; when crossed with the tribe of Simeon darkens the 
eyes and hair; with Naphtali shortens the stature and gives a 
more talkative nature. These people usually marry suddenly 
and strangely. They are attracted in marriage to the tribes of 
Naphtuli, Simeon and Dan, but should marry in their own tribe 
for the greatest harmony. They dress in different shades, but 
choose subdued colors, of good material. 

Their sacred stone is the jasper, Ex. 39 :15, signifying divine 
honor and friendship, as their name and nature implies. The 
emblem of this tribe is Virgo, the flower girl, illustrating their 
artistic nature and purity of friendship. This emblem was given 
them that they might not lose sight of the talent God had given 
them, that they might prosper.

Birth of Trib( 
Gen. 30:6. 



History — 

Gen. 49:16. 
Deut. 33:22. 
Num. 1:39. 



You belong to the tribe of Dan, lo- 
cated on the head in the org^ans of hu- 
man nature, benevolence and ide^iitv. 
They are naturally lifted intuitively as 
discerners of character, forminoj correct 
estimates of those they meet at a single 
glance, especially if they desire to notice 
people for that purpose. They can trust 
their first impressions. Should study to 
form their thoughts into phrenological 
terms, to give them confidence. Those 
with large comparison and construction 
make excellent practical phrenologists 
with but little practice and study. They love to study the signs 
of character in the features, voice and wolk, also the manners 
of the people. 

Intellectually. 




JOHN H. PATTERSON. 



When educated they represent popular science and the truth 
of natural phenomena, and are writers on the scientific spirit of 
the times in which they live. They are usually unwavering in 
fidelity to principle, very brilliant in intellect, very clear rea> 
soners, and capable of acquiring a very fine education, as their 
minds are wholly in the useful and belong to the public and the 
sphv^re of city life, where they can be among and dealing with 



34 Bible Phrenology 

the people. They are very active in the direction of public good, 
when their circumstances will permit. They are frequently 
found as ministers, physicians, and in mercantile pursuits, also 
as judges, reformers and phrenologists. As children they are 
very timid and sensitive to their surroundings, lacking in self- 
confidence. The more this disposition is punished the stupider 
they appear. The most they need is encouragement and time o 
develop. These people seem to be outspoken and frank, yet have 
a very secretive nature, with a deep interior soul knowledge be- 
yond their own comprehension, which is best known when 
brought out by circumstances through their intuitions. As musi- 
cians, very original ; many are good composers. They have plenty 
c f friends, yet never bind a friend by very strong pledges. They 
s^em to know the weakness of humanity. AVomen are very do- 
mestic and take great interest in their homes and families in the 
early part of life, yet many are deficient in the care of children 
and order of home life, and, especially when not hapnily married, 
easily discouraged. The latter part of life is usually more fortu- 
nate, turned to the Tiublic interests in some charitable work, or 
they take up some business and are very successful. As they 
have good power in influencing other minds, they are well adapt- 
ed to pleasing the public in any department of service which 
they may be engaged in. Some of our best financiers come 
of this tribe. The following are of this tribe : 

Thomas A. Edison, inventor. 

John Dalton, phrenologist. 

Mrs. Olive Ames, phrenologist. 

L. 'M. Fowler, one of the founders of the Fowler & Wells 
firm, New York. 

Mozart, composer of music. 

Martha Washington. 

Mrs. Rachel Temple-Webber, discoverer of the tribes. 

Sampson, the strong man and judge of Israel. 

These people have very scientific and inventive minds. They 
are discoverers of new^ truth, solvers of riddles, or the mysteries 
of life, and therefore very useful to the world at large. (They 



House of Jacob ' 35 

have been at their work since the founding" of the Fowler & 
Wells firm, yet it is not known). Uusually, like Sampson, have 
to fight their own battles, and, like Sampson, marry their worst 
enemy. Especially when they marry in another nationality, this 
will be true. In Gen. 49 :16 they are likened to the adder in their 
quiet, peaceful way of working or ruling. They often surprise 
the world, without boasting and great show, as did Sampson, and 
as did Edison, by bringing forth some hidden power or pheno- 
mena. They are very faithful and devoted husbands and wives, 
.as a rule, having a devoted love nature (with inclinations to its 
purity in its uses). They are found mostly in the Christian, 
Baptist and Presbyterian churches. They are found most plenti- 
fully among the Germans, Danes and English, ihey are lovers 
of public parades, operas, theatres and popular resorts. They 
enjoy places of amusement where they can be spectators rather 
than participators, but there are exceptions in those who are 
educated for Dublic life. They are seldom mechanics, though 
having the ability, and do fine work. They make use of it in 
the higher arts and inventions. They are good and proficient 
salesmen and women, are fine cooks, nurses, matrons and land- 
ladies, and are very original in all their plans of work. 

Disposition. 

Versatile, amiable and good natured, witty, mirthful and very 
fond of refined society, having large ideality ; lovers of elegance 
and grandeur in nature and life. They are original in thought 
and expression, yet they are often found lacking or deficient in 
self-esteem and personal appearance, unless crossed with the 
tribe of Joseph. This gives them a spirit of pride and dignity 
in personal appearance. They are very outspoken and plain, 
yet can keep their own counsel. When angry they go to the ones 
that have injured them at once and settle the trouble with them. 

Described. 

At mature age these people are of medium stature, plump, 
well-formed, as a rule, with fair complexion, blue eyes and even, 



36 Bible Phrenology 

closed lips. Yet those crossed with Zebulun may have dark hair 
and eyes. Crossed with Judah shortens the nose. These people, 
on the average, are prepossessing in appearance, with Grecian 
German noses. These people love to dress well and becomingly; 
many do, yet those deficient in the organ of self-esteem may also 
be found deficient in personal appearance and dignity that be 
long to their tribe. They dress in different shades, yet dark 
blue, pink, white, black and salmon colors are the bes<; for them, 
and they are not averse to mingled and fine striped goods of 
modest dark shades. The Dans are attracted in marriage to the 
tribes of Joseph, Benjamin and Zebulun, but should marry iu 
their own tribe for the greatest harmony. Their sacred stone is 
the sapphire, Ex. 39:11. Color, different shades of blue. The 
language is strength in divine judgment, or, as a judge. Their 
emblem is the waterman. Aquarius, Numbers 24:7: "He shall 
pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many 
waters. His kindom shall be exalted."

Deut. 33:23. 
I. Kings 7:14. 




REV. W. C. EVANS. 



You belong to the tribe of Naohtah, 
located on the head ph^renologically in 
the organs of comparison and causality. 
This tribe possesses a remarkable power 
of reasoning, to discover new truth by 
their persistent research in the line of 
philosophy. 

Intellectually. 

They belong to the element of 
thought. They have a peculiar fac- 
ulty of tracing out the r(-lations existing 
between the known and the unknown. 
This is their spiritual tribe gift. They are influenced religi- 
ously by reason, also, through their strong intuitions, which 
causes many of them to make science and research a life study. 
No matter what their hands are doing, their mmds are always 
busy, and many become familiar with laws which govern the 
principles upon which they live. They have an uncommon ca- 
pacity for contriving ways and means, and, on account of their 
large causality it is imperatively necessary that they should 
know the reason, the why and the wherefore of everything with 
which they come in contact. As children, they are continually 
asking questions, and always appear to be unsatisfied. They 
gain much of their knowledge in this way, and some who have 



38 Bible Phrenology 

aquired their education by this habit of questioning have been 
led to think that school and education are of little value, for- 
gettino^ that they have gained their knowledge from those that 
are educated, and that they would have been much better edu- 
cated had they more original culture. They are eminent as 
philosophers, judges, officers, composers, workers on artistic en- 
gravings, inventors and poets. However, much depends on their 
educational advantages for public work. I. Kings 7 :14. 

Disposition. 

They are inclined to be negative and passive instead of ag- 
gressive, unless crosvsed with Joseph or Judah ; this aids them in 
being resolute and determined. They are very peculiar about 
their love affairs. When they do concentrate their love upon 
any one, they will be ever ready to conceal his faults and are 
much grieved if their love is not returned in the same manner 
by their loved ones. If disappointed, they are liable to be care- 
less in matters of love. The women are timid, cautious and 
harmless. Their nature is peaceful, yet their actions are in- 
fluenced bv those they love, especially those that are deficient in 
self-esteem. They are rather irritable in temper when imposed 
upon and make considerable fuss when things go wrong about 
them, yet they do not become aggressive, if occupied in domestic 
or mechanical callings as these are out of their calling in life, 
not being their best gift, 1. Cor. 12:31. They become aggressive 
when occuDied in educational or professional callings. They 
have a fear of poverty or want and cannot endure the thought 
cf being dependent on others, women as well as men. They like 
to know that which they possess is their own and that they are 
entitled to its enjoyment and will strive hard to have it so. They 
are upright and honest, yet there are exceptions, when their 
natures become perverted with the evils of this world. These 
should be educated, for they are unfortunate in labor. Much 
depends on their start in life. They dislike changes, and many 
are imposed upon for this reason. They never desire to be 
leaders. For this reason, many times, they are kept down in 



House of Jacob 39 

the world, in humble positions, until late in life. When educated 
life is a great pleasure to them. They are good-hearted and 
ready to give a helping hand to the poor. They often shrink 
from publicity, due to their innate modesty. For all this, when 
chosen, they are occasionally raised to the highest positions of 
honor. Several of our Presidents were of this tribe, but they 
did not seek the office, as others do today ; the office sought them. 
They are found in places of trust a^nd are faithful to their 
trust. They are usually of German and English descent and 
belong to the Christian and Presb>i;erian churches. The women 
are much the same as the men when educated for the same cal- 
lings. As narents they expect strict obedience from their chil- 
dren. The following are of this tribe : 

Dr. F. J. Gall, the founder of phrenologj^ 

George Washington, United States President. 

Homer Winslow, painter of note. 

Anna Lee, founder of the Shakers. 

Maria Louisa, Napoleon's second wife. 

Described. 

These people do considerable active work as well as talking:. 

They are rather short or heavy for their stature, hair brown 
and inclined to curl, pale complexion, mild, light blue eyes, 
medium-sized straight nose and closed lips; frequently lacking 
in personal appearance. Crossed with the tribe of Joseph gives 
them dignity and finer personal appearance. They love a quiet, 
retired life, especially after mature age. They enjoy best the 
silent side of our nature. They often feel that there is alto- 
gether too much noise, and are found very wretched where there 
is confusion around them which they cannot avoid. They dress 
in delicate shades of peculiar contrast. They are attracted in 
marriage to the tribes of Levi, Benjamin and Joseph, but should 
marry in their own tribe for the greatest harmony. Their sacred 
stone is the diamond, Ex. 39 :11. Its language is, words of wis- 
!^om and love. The emblem of this tribe is Pisces, represented 
by the fishes. The apostles were fishers of men. What did they 
do? They went about teaching the great wisdom of God.

BISHOP W. H. HART. 



You belong to the tribe of Levi, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of phil- 
oprogenitiveness and conjugal love. 
Their love for the proper education of 
children, and order in home life and its 
relations, is intense, and may, at times, 
go beyond the comprehension of others 
less endowed with this love for home 
and family, makinsr them appear unrea- 
sonable in overprovidino-. or it may take 
the form of overexactness — a desire that 
there should be more perfection in their 
loved ones— and become irritable. They 
are in constant fear lest something should go wrong. As parents 
many idolize their children and are indulgent to a fault. Al- 
though, if this nature becomes perverted, through being dis- 
appointed, or any other cause, they will almost hate the opposite 
sex and children, and remain single, as they are extremely par- 
ticular in their domestic relations, yet they may not always be 
in the right. This has much to do with their tiaining. When 
cultured and refined, they become a great power for good among 
the people. 

Intellectually. 

They are capable of a grand and very advanced education, 
and belong to the professional class— Bible scholars, managers 



House of Jacob 4:1 

of societies, organizers of Sunday schools ; they are successful as 
reporters and solicitors for books and newspaers. They should 
have employment that keeps them moving about. When cultured 
they have great power in society, as they are passionately fond 
of society, which is equally fond of them. They represent the 
protection of liberty, and freedom of the people, education and 
the enlightening of the world. These people are lost, historically, 
but many of them are at their old work in a new light, or name, 
unaware of who they are, for the Lord has set them aside for 
this work and will re-establish them, Isaiah 66 :20-23. We find 
many as reformers in social and religious interests, when edu- 
cated. They are eminent as public speakers and ministers, and 
still believe in the fulfillment of the prophecies — those who have 
not neglected their spiritual education. Their minds are con- 
stantly running beyond the present. They have the tendency to 
peer into the future, as of old, and are very good in prophesying 
future events social and national, that are pending, although all 
do not prophesy. Some are not believers in it, having been 
taught against their own spiritual gift. This has caused many 
to lack faith, hope and cheerfulness, and they have become fear- 
ful, morbid and impatient, and are quick to become angry. They 
should try to break themselves of this tendency, as it keeps them 
from being successful. When living in accordance with their 
nature, they are poetical, good writers of fables, religion and 
science, and good musicians and entertainers. Those Avithout 
the proper culture or refinement, are tiresome in conversation, 
as they like to relate every little incident that happens around 
them, having good, retentive memories. They are lovers of 
hygiene and self-culture. Their influence is felt by those around 
them, the external as Avell as the spiritual power of command, 
whether educated or not, and usually demand discipline and 
obedience to the rulinor authorities, whether they agree with them 
or not. The following are of this tribe: 

Wendell Phillips, anti-slavery orator. 

John G. Whittier, poet and anti-slavery reformer. 



42 ' Bible Phrenology 

]\Iary Livermore, social and religious reformer. 

Grace Darling, authoress. 

These people are brave and resolute in their dilferent callings. 
They belong to the city life, as they had no inheritance left them. 
They were the priests and singers. The women did the orna- 
mental work, making priestly robes, curtains and embroidery. 
The women still handle these callings with skill and proficiency. 
They are good in art, music, fine needle work, millinery and 
dressmaking, also as kindergarteners. As of old, they are adapted 
to beautifying the home and those around them, teaching man- 
ners and politeness. They are not adapted to tilling the soil^ 
except a small garden, or flowewrs and fruit. Many of this tribe 
seem to have become extremely worldly, having been crowded 
out of their positions through customs and unbelief. Not being 
adapted for labor, life is a struggle for them. They are charit- 
able to the afflicted and oppressed. 

Disposition. 

They are jovial, quick, benevolent, fond of life, loyal, patri- 
otic and law-abiding. When their minds are influenced by a 
religious faith they become excellent instructors of children, 
lovers of outdoor exercise, freedom of thought : they have inde- 
pendent natures, and love to entertain their friends, when they 
can have their own way, especially while young, and when 
offended, feel it keenb'. for some have hasty and active tempers, 
but not lasting. They have sharp sight and hearing when they 
do not abuse their eyes. They seem to know what is going on 
around them by instinct. They are most numerous in the Epis- 
copal church. 

Described. 

They are physically well-formed, dignified and graceful, 
about medium height, sanguine complexion, bright brown hair, 
modest, clear blue eyes, oval features, high forehead, and are 
energetic and active. This makes them rather thoughtless while 



HcAise of Jacob ' 43 

young, but time develops them among the best. They are at- 
tracted in marriage to the tribes of Xaphtali. Dan and Simeon, 
but should marry in their own tribe to be properly known and 
appreciated. They dress in light choice shades and white, and in 
darker shades and colors as they advance in life. Their sacred 
birthstone is carbuncle. Ex. 39 :10. meaning chosen of God, a 
divine work to beautify the soul and body. The carbuncle is a 
red stone shaped like a drop of blood, representing the sacrifice 
blood, later Christ's blood that was shed for all souls.. Their 
emblem is the bowman, Sagittarius, the arrow, representing the 
spirit of God. directed to the people through this tribe of priests.

TRIBE or GAD. 

(A troop, symbol of law and order.) 



Birth of Tribe — 
Gen. 30:11. 



History — 

Gen. 49:19. 
Deut. 33:21. 22. 



You belong to the tribe of Gad, lo- 
cated on the head phrenologically in the 
organs of eventuality, tune and time, 
also construction. They possess a re- 
markable memory for historical facts, 
incidents and general knowledge, readily 
learning anything relating to history, 
travel or biographical records. They 
have strong cravinof for information and 
are great devourers of books, news- 
papers and periodicals, when circum- 
stances will permit, and when not too 
greatly burdened with family cares. A 
troop of cares often overcomes them at some time in life, but 
they are the overcomers at the last, and become very prosperous. 
These people, as a rule, while young and under the influence of 
others, are unsettled in their ways. "We hardly know what to 
expect of them. But after maturity they change to be system- 
atic and orderly in their habits and business and can then over- 
come circumstances that once overcame them. 




THOS. JEFFERSON. 



Intellectually. 

They are very musical as a people, though all do not sing, 
not having good vocal organs or opportunities. They are inde- 
pendent thinkers, believing only in facts that they can prove. 



House of Jacob 45 

Their brain is always busy, naturally given to scientific and 
progressive thoughts, and easily educated. Thev are not adapted 
to mechanical work, yet can do this and have rather an inventive 
talent, and love to be employed. They are eminent as statesmen, 
officers and military men; teachers, orators and electricians. 
They make excellent kookkeepers and are good in writing notices, 
letters and short articles. They are honest and faithful to their 
duties, and, as a rule, when their religious convictions do not 
hinder, love dancing. They are usually found in the literary 
and musical entertainments of a classic nature; do not enjoy a 
noisy mixed society. 

Disposition. 

They are very ambitious to accomplish something of value to 
the world as well as to themselves. They are generous and good- 
hearted to their special friends or the suffering and needy. Quick 
and passionate in temper, as a rule soon over it, if you let them 
alone. They think much of, and value hjghly, anything small or 
great, that belongs to them, and are careful with what they have. 
Some might call them stingy for this but they are not. They 
are very much annoyed with those that are careless with small 
and useful things about them. They will contend for their 
privileges and assert their rights, after maturity, at least. Hav- 
ing a great deal of military command, there is law and order 
about everything they do. This is their spiritual tribe gift, and 
they are placed among the people for that work, as the organ of 
order is placed in the brain to keep our intellect in order. They 
should learn business and intellectual order and systematic ways 
of doing things. Persons around them realize their peculiar 
style of order, as their order is not always pleasing to others, 
especially domestic order, as they may appear to be deficient in 
this, but can tell you all about their business, how it stands. 
There is an intellectual order, and there is a domestic order. 
They were chosen car>tains over the other tribes because of this 
natural gift, I. Cor. 12 :18. These people are not easily controlled 
except through reason. They are (when not educated for higher 



46 Bible Phrenology 

positions) successful in stock raising, farmings and trade, where 
they have complete control as they are sensitive not to interfere 
with other people's arrangements. 

Described. 

They are physically strong, medium or tall in stature, rather 
long neck, even eyebrows, and plentiful, as a rule, and inclined 
to be narrow between the eyes. Complexion fair with blue eyes, 
unless crossed with the tribe of Simeon. This may give them a 
dark complexion. The following are of this tribe : 

Thomas Jefferson, ex-President. 

Washington Irving, historian. 

Jennie Lind.. singer. 

Adelina Patti, singer. 

The women that are educated are the same in intellect as the 
men, and are able to hold high positions. They are also excellent 
housekeepers w^hen they can have their own way. Their love of 
order and elegance and beauty in home life is very trong. When 
unable, on account of circumstances, to have these things for 
their comfort, they may become the opposite, feel unhappy and 
become careless. Worry and discord nearly always produce sick 
headache. Rest and sleep is their best medicine. Harmony is 
absolutely necessary to the health and happiness of these people. 
As children they suffer much on this account. In regard to work, 
they must first have a thorough understanding of what they are 
expected to do, for they generally have a system of their own, 
and when called upon to adopt the ideas or plans of others are 
thrown into confusion and exhibit considerable nervousness until 
they become acquainted. They are not very successful as sur- 
geons or physicians, or in any position that brings in sudden and 
inharmonious conditions that they cannot control. In dentistry 
or chemistry they are successful. They are fine writers on his- 
tory, travel, military tactics, law and religion. They dress in 
modest, but light shades; more solid colors later in life. They 
are attracted in marriage to the tribes of Reuben, Simeon and 



House of Jacob 47 

benjamin. Their sacred stone is the ligure, a red stone — divine 
law and order and wisdom. The emblem of this tribe is Aries, 
the ram. This represents the head and mental powers, and law 
and order, teaching by this emblem that they are to remain in 
these callings, intellectual work, and not be overcome by others, 
"but they shall overcome at the last.

Birth of Tribe — 
Gen. 30:13. 



History — 

Gen. 49:20. 
Deut. 33:24. 




LCRD PAUNCEFOTE. 



You belong to the tribe of Asher, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of ali- 
nientiveness and executive power. These 
people represent force and energy 
through their emotional nature and as 
children are constantly on the move, 
which causes them much trouble from 
others being annoyed. They are inclined 
to expensive habits, especially while 
young, and they always find the best in 
the market. They live to eat, rather 
than eat to live, as is proper, therefore 
are in danger of eating too much, more 
than nature requires, impairing the digestion. When conditions 
will permit them, they are very generous with those around them. 
They are good providers when nui, hampered by others, and may^ 
at times, go to extremes and provide more than is necessary, as 
they do many things by impulse. They fully appreciate good 
and choice foods, and plenty of them : You will find them en- 
joying life where feasts and banquets are spread, as they are 
experts in providing and managing the same. As officers they 
provide well for the soldiers. This was where General Grant's 
success came in. Women are good and scientific cooks, and the 
best of landladies— positions where they provide for the many. 
They should guard against too highly seasoned food and stimu- 



House of Jacob 49 

lating drinks, as they only tend to impair digestion and blunt 
the intellect. 

Intellectually. 

They have great mental and physical endurance, are original 
in thought, are not inclined to pattern after others. They are 
much sought after by others for their opinions. They have fine 
intuitions in all things that pertain to business and success in 
life, when they do not listen to others' advice and change their 
calling, but are not good collectors. They are eminent a^ trans- 
lators, founders of institutions of learning, lawyers, statesmen, 
writers, actors, builders, physicians, bankers and editors. They 
are not as gifted in music and art as other tribes. When they 
are musical it is inherited from the parents. A¥hen this hapj^ens 
it is a very rare p-ift. They would rather follow the more sub- 
stantial callings than the ornamental. They usually excel in 
inathematics and literarv callings, and readily adapt themselves 
to the customs of society, and many become leaders through their 
power of endurance. They are more successful when working 
on a large plan, for they do not value small amounts cl money 
as they should. This is because they are gitted to make money 
on a large plan as managers of large concerns, wholesale and 
such, and do not take much account of small change. In their 
-early life any one can have it for the asking, it would seem, and 
in this way they waste much of their valuable earnings and keep 
themselves down in the world. Those crossed with Joseph are 
more conservative and careful in their money and business mat- 
ters and become successful earlier in life. Many are found in 
the railroad business in its varied forms, where they make money 
in large quantities. They seldom work long in a place where 
their wages are small. When out of employment they feel almost 
worthless and lose their ambition. They should keep in employ- 
ment all the time. Women are almost as powerful and successful 
as men when they have an equal chance and education. The 
following are of this tribe : 
Herbert Spencer, scientist. 



50 Biblf Phrenology 

IT. S. Grant, ex-President. 

Lew Wallace, writer. 

]\Tary Booth, noted astronomer. 

These not so fortunate in educational advantao-es do well as 
blacksmiths, butchers, stone cutters, cooks, hotel keepers, matrons 
and in positions where strength and responsibility are required. 

Disposition. 

They have great energy and force in anything they do ; per- 
sistent in their desires, yet pleasant, sociable and good natured, 
but have their spells of discouragement, as they desire life to 
be happy all day long, while this is not always so ; are much put 
out when things go wrong to their notion. They should be 
careful and slow to form an opinion, careful and self-reliant 
in business. They are determined and headstrong in any plan 
they undertake, unyielding in this and are natural conquerors 
of difficulties. They are mirthful, happy and self-satisfied, 
especially when occupied. They are rather too easily influenced 
through their sympathetic love-nature, when influenced at all. 
They often impoverish themselves for others, and are often 
taken advantage of by those around them. Many are unfortu- 
nate in this way. They should look out for themselves. They 
should not decide on any important matter of a benevolent 
nature while surrounded by others, lest they be too free-hearted. 
These people are slow in anger but violent when aroused. 

Described. 

They are medium or large in stature and build, short neck, 
broad, high forehead, rather fleshy, prominent nose, strongs 
mouth and teeth, full prominent eyes at mature age, medium 
complexion, yet a cross with the tribe of Joseph may lighten 
the complexion and refine the features. Crossed with Zebulun 
darkens the complexion and causes the eyes to be more deeply 
set in the head. As children they are strong willed, often refus- 



House of Ja^oh 51 

ing to go to school, thus ruining their future independence and 
future success and happiness, for much depends for their posi- 
tion and success in life upon education, as many are deficient in 
self-esteem and approbativeness, causing them to be deficient in 
polish of manners and personal appearance. Then having a 
good deal of jealousy and impulsiveness in their natures, an 
education cures and removes these, and they are able to restrain 
anything they find is retarding their success ; they can control 
it by force of character. Those uneducated often appear rather 
selfish as to rights and privileges about them, yet their loving 
and forgiving nature redeems them in most of their troubles. 
These people we find often inherit property some time in life^ 
and are found among the most progressive and successful people, 
especially after middle life. They seem to pass through many 
changes in early life, some ofood, some bad, yet as a whole are v\ 
successful people. They are attracted in marriao-e to the tribes 
of Joseph, Zebulun and Benjamin. They should marry in their 
own tribe for the greatest harmony. They dress in solid colors 
of gray and brown, also the diiferent stone colors and of agate. 
They love to dress well and with distinction, when circumstances 
will permit. Their sacred birth stone is the agate, Ex. 39 :13. 
The language of the stone is peace and plenty, and it aids in 
this when w^orn by this tribe. Their emblem is Taurus, the bull, 
reoresenting strength, force and energy in their life work. This 
tribe is found most numerous among the English, and represents 
the "Johnny Bull" of the English people, as they kept their 
emblem lonaer than anv of the other tribes did.

THEODORE THOMAS. 



They are apt scholars in learning. 
Their characteristics are power of fore- 
sight, intuition and quick perception of truth in relation tu 
home, society and the country, and the mysteries of the origin of 
life make a problem they are much interested in. Therefore, 
they are excellent physicians, surgeons, teachers and lawyers, 
handlino- the domestic relations of family life as a whole, as 
well as home. They possess great aptitude for language, when 
educated, and are good interpreters. They strive to make their 
homes happy. When their home does not furnish the proper 
refinement and social comforts they are not very happy. Their 
home is never too good for their family to enjoy. They are apt 
in stock raising, lovers of fine horses and good farmero, as the 
home and the farm is the beginning of human life, and its origin

in relation to this world. These people are also successful and 
reliable in trade and sDeculation, both small and great. They 
can conceive many plans to make money. They should follo^v 
their first impressions in regard to trade and business. The 
Reubens are very enthusiastic lovers of scientific and mystic 
booLs and subjects. This comes from their large organ of secre- 
tiveness. Those that are writers write on domestic, scientific and 
mystic subjects and fiction. They are adapted to the highest 
branches of education, and especially mathematics. They are 
fine actors and public speakers. Thev have lin3 mechanical 
ability, but are not adapted for hard labor. They do better as 
contractors, painters and fancy designers. They are very artis- 
tic and show great aptitude in fancy work. They are very fond 
of music and entertainments of a high class, when educated. 
The women are the same as the men when educated the same. 

Disposition. 

They are amiable high minded, graceful, very affectionate 
and good hearted. Their love is active. They can express them- 
selves properly in words or actions. They are very industrious 
in looking after the ccmforts of home. Those crossed with the 
tribe of Gad have more restraint in their love and use more law 
and order. Without this cross they are versatile in nature, 
temper quick and strong, but soon over, emotional as speakers 
and ministers, and usually found most numerous in the Metho- 
dist church. These people are usually of the motive temperament, 
many beino^ easily influenced bv beauty and worldly display, 
especially when not properly taught while young to understand 
the evils of unrestrained love and admiration in their varied 
forms, as some are governed by a religious faith, others by strong 
moral organs, while others are left to learn by experience. For 
these reasons they should be carefully guarded, in all circum- 
stances, against dangers from worldly and evil minded people, 
as the motive temperament naturally inclines to extremes. They 
are either extremely good or the reverse. This is mentioned 



54 Bibie FJiroiologii 

in their history. Gen. 49:3. AYe learn they represent the two 
extremes of their nature: one stands for the highest excellency 
and dignity of God"s people, yet they will not excel other tribes, 
because of their reverse nature. AYe find it true in phrenology 
that people that are capable of accomplishing great things oc- 
casionally can stoop to the lowest. (They v;ere given the bal- 
ance as an emblem that they may not forget justice and honesty. ) 
Those that take good care of their moral and spiritual life are 
our leading stars of the social and religious world, yet they have 
many domestic difficulties to settle and keep straight in the 
home life of this old world. Gen. 37 :21-23 is an illustration of 
Reuben's kindness and loyalty to home and family ties, and ^ 
key to their tribe gift and calling, and when these trials come 
upon them they should be just to all. As children they should 
have a very positive teacher and a firm rule in every department 
of life, as they stand at the head of the home, as an example of 
the domestic peace maker, its dignity and honor. The following 
are of this tribe : 

Mrs. Grover Cleveland. 

Miss Frances Willard, temperance lecturer. 

Edwin Booth, actor. 

0. S. Fowler, phrenologist and writer on domestic laws and 
harmony. 

Described. 

They are tail;i(s a rule, lithe, graceful, with well balanced 
organisms. They have rather receding foreheads; large in the 
social organs of the back head; shai-p, sparkling, brown or black 
eyes, dark hair, clear complexion, yet when crossed with the 
tribes of Levi or Joseph may take on their fr.ir complexion. 
They have low toned, sweet voices. This tribe of people are 
naturally inclined to be religious while young, but have many 
skeptical tendencies to pass through on account of their investi- 
gating nature and social tendencies. They should guard against 
going to extremes that they do not forget their high calling- 
home ties. They are the leaders in ability to entertain, and are 



House of Jacob . 55 

mostly found in the fashionable world and hiah social life, not 
the fickle, fancy fashions, bnt a noble sphere. These people are 
attracted in marriage to the tribes of Gad, Simeon and Ben- 
jamin, as Simeon is a dark complexioned people. The Reubens 
proper dress in the very choicest and newest shades, and are 
very fashionable when they can be. It will be a grand day when 
each tribe can dress as they feel like and not be bound down 
by fashion, which means catering to Mother Grundy and a loss 
of your own ability to judge ; for colors have a very bad effect 
upon some. It has been known to cause sickness, to wear some 
other's color gives a depressed feeling, while wearing your own 
color gives a happy, cheerful feeling. If you are having a long 
blue spell, change the color of your clothes and thino^s about you ; 
take off those brown, dark clothes through and through, put on 
cheerful colors that you like, and mark the change. Dark, dirt;/ 
colors, and black, are very trying to the nerves of a delicate, 
sensitive person, also of a fair complexion, either men or women. 
These remarks are general and belonj^r to all the tribes. The 
Reubens' sacred birth, stone is the sardius, or sardonyx, Ex. 
39 :10. Its language dignifies domestic honor and peace. It 
should be worn by this tribe. It brings good luck in home life. 
Their emblem is the balance, representing justice in all things, 
also their two extreme natures, their unstableness as water, also 
their calling in life. They are called upon often to weigh and 
measure, also to divide, provisions as well as cloth, and all other 
comforts in the home life, art, music, education. All these have 
to be divided equally among the children that none be neglected.

JOSE MANUEL GOVIN. 



You belong to the tribe of Zebulun, 
located on the head in the organs of con- 
jugal love and philopregenitiveness 
They are careful in their manner, very 
gentle and sympathetic to the feeble and 
young of any kind. Those Avith children 
suffer continual fear lest something 
should go wrong. They show great 
anxiety when friends are sick, fearing 
they may die. They are devoted in 
their love nature to a companion and 
are made utterly miserable through 
coldness or indifference by the object 
of their affection. They are great admirers of personal beauty 
and seek in the opposite sex good bodily development and a 
warm heart, as well as intellectual capacity and moral worth. 
The love element is a very influential feature in their nature- 
and has a wonderful effect for either good or evil; but Avhen 
properly controlled and made subservient to moral principle 
will be a source of power of mind to overcome difficulties in life,, 
giving strength and happiness, and will prove a blessing to 
themselves and others. 

Intellectually. 

When educated, as writers and poets, they are very pathetic 
and sweet. They write with a great deal of feeling and expres- 



House of Jacob . 57 

sion of love, of home and domestic life, as they have many home 
cares thrust upon them by others. ''Silver threads amon^ the 
gold" is a Zebulun production. Men are very domestic and 
very skillful in the care of home and children, if called to act 
in this capacity, and are good cooks. These people are very 
successful ministers, physicians and nurses. They are too sensi- 
tive, many of them, to become noted in public life. They seem 
to shrink from public view and contentions which make them 
very nervous. Those crossed with Judah are very successful in 
public life work, giving firmness and decision to their business 
life and good ability for trade. These people are fine in plan- 
ning for domestic comforts, or happiness of home life or family^ 
yet, when in poor circumstances, may be rather too close. They 
are artistic, of a very select style ; make sweet, low toned music 
when they do play or sing. They are noted as inventors, manu- 
facturers of domestic and fine goods; fine navigators; good in 
traffic by water. Some are found as shipbuilders and lumber- 
men, and they are natural sailors. Those uneducated are suc- 
cessful fishermen. These people prosper best in low altitudes 
and near water. Women are adapted for millinery, sewing and 
fancy work, and the lighter branches of trade— bakers, candy 
makers and canned goods. They are not adapted for servants; 
are too fine and sensitive to criticism and require a more refined 
life, but, as a rule, care for but little outside of their home life. 
The following are of this tribe : 

Neal Dow, temperance reformer. 
John Calvin, eminent reformer. 
Sarah Pysan (Fannie Fern), writer. 
Christopher Columbus, Avater explorer. 
D. G. Farragut, admiral. 
Elias Howe, inventor of the sewing machine. 
Friedrick Froebel, originator of the kindergarten. 
John Q. Adams, ex-President of the United States— the great 
peace maker. 



58 Bible Vhroiology 

Described. 

They are medium or below medium in stature, dark hair and 
eyes, prominent cheek bones, dark, clear complexion, celestial 
nose (when crossed with Spanish gives straight nose), eyeballs 
large, but deep set in the head, rather square shoulders, should 
have medium small hands and feet ; some have weak chests and 
should hold themselves erect. Those crossed with Joseph may 
have light hair and more prominent noses. 

Disposition. 

They are thoughtful and rather bashful and effeminate; 
w^hen their feelings are called out, they exhibit the French 
nature, hasty in mirth or anger. They are brave and display 
great courage. Temper mild as a rule, yet impatient, and make 
use of cutting words when called out by circumstances. The/ 
are strangely particular and careful when eating and of what 
they eat and drink: lovers of flavors and rich foods, pure and 
good, even fussy about it being on time, yet seldom drink to 
excess. Their conversation is agreeable, pleasant and often 
mirthful with jests, yet averse to rough and vulgar .iokes. and 
easily take offense at anything low or coarse. They are careful 
of their money or anythinsr they have. Some are called miserly. 
Their minds dwell considerably on life and death and the destiny 
of mankind and they are especially adapted to the care of the 
young — babies, pets, and young animals of all kinds. 

They seem to be naturally religious, if their minds 
are not misled while young, and are found most numerous in the 
Baptist church, which is composed principally of this tribe in 
large cities. These people dress in dark, modest colors and white. 
They are attracted in marriage to the tribes of Dan and Asher, 
but should marry in their own tribe for the greatest good. Their 
sacred stone is the beryl, Ex. 39 :11. The language of the stone 
is meditation, love and sympathy, and aids this tribe in love and 
sympathy when worn. Their emblem is Cancer, originally mean- 
ing and representing the milk of human kindr^ss, which in these 
days has been dreadfully abused and perverted.

Judith 9:2. 



History — 

Ex. 6:15. 
Gen. 49:5. 
Num. 1:22, 23. 




JAMES A. GARFIELD. 



You belong to the tribe of Simeon, 
located on the head in the organs of in- 
dividuality, sight and hearing. They 
have extraordinary powers of observa- 
tion and hearing. This conies from the 
conditions under which Simeon, the 
father of the tribe, was born ; his mother 
heard she was hated. This tribe of peo- 
ple are still listening for the same thing 
to be said about them. ' They are very 
watchful over anything that belongs to 
them or their families. 



Intellectually . 



They are watchful and irresistibly impelled (if caution is 
small) to discover the truth of reports, taking account of par- 
ticulars which would escape most persons altogether. When 
cultured they are noted for tact and bravery and many are 
powerful reformers and are never daunted when they think they 
are in the right. They are vitty and quick of thought and action 
and ever on the go or doing something; never idle. Some are 
great readers. They seem to rely too much on observation and 
not enough on reason, thought and kindness. They find much 
in life to disturb their peace of mind and their temper, for they 



60 Bihle Phrenology "* 

are practical observers of men and women and their actions, one 
toward the other. As singers thev are often deficient in time. 
Their music is strong and forceful, and often successful on that 
account. They are often very artistic and their style is of ;i 
peculiar class, being original. They keep close account of every- 
thing going on around them. They see all the faults of their 
friends. They have large construction, calculation and order. 
Women make good dressmakers and are verv watchful over 
their domestic affairs. They provide plentifully for their own. 
Many love to eat alone. They are adapted to the study of 
mysteries and deep spiritual subjects that seem too hard for 
others, and on account of this power of peerinsr into the future, 
are often found as fortune tellers. Thev enjoy secrets and 
strange stories and reports. They possess fine intuitional powers 
and with their positive will could excel as surge ns, physicians, 
nurses and detectives. They excel as newspaper reporters and 
telegraph operators. They are a tribe of watchmen ; are fine 
trainers of animals and make good veterinar^^ surgeons. (Of 
course there are exceptions.) As writers they are very sharp 
and pointed in expression and very progressive in their ideas. 
They are doers instead of thinkers. The following are of this 
tribe : 

Martin Luther is a good type, and renowned as a reformer. 

Anna E. Dickinson, lecturer and author during the Civil War. 

Ida Lewis, who went bravely to the rescue of the perishing. 

James A. Garfield, United States President. 

President Roosevelt. 

William Bryant, poet. 

These people enjoy callings that are out of the common affairs 
of life. They are conservative, and executors of public ideas 
and laws. Many are found among the Spanish people. 

Disposition. 

They have a very positive will of their own, and, as a rule, 
have their own Avay. They speak exactly what they think, rather 



Souse of Jacob 61 

gruffly, yet they are silent and reserved most of the time. Many 
speak but a few words in a day, although full of good works. 
These people are peculiar about their gains or money; will be 
very careful at times, then spend freely. They should not try 
large speculations; they do not belong to that element, but can 
deal in horses and cattle. These people are not born leaders, 
although thev like to have others under their command. As 
husbands and wives they expect to rule their part of life's work 
and cannot endure any instruction given in a domineering way, 
though they are very apt to give orders themselves in this man- 
ner unless they have been taught to give instructions in the 
proper manner, but can be made very pliable if treated with 
kindness and honor. They also expect strict obedience from 
their children, or those around them, and are liable to go to 
extremes in this respect unless very careful or modified by the 
cross of the tribe of Levi. They care but little about society 
because of their peculiar nature. People do not understand 
them. They are extremely kind, sympathetic and generous in 
their giving. They dress in dull colors, dark red and black. 
They are attracted in marriage to the tribes of Reuben, Levi 
and Benjamin. Their sacred or memorial stone is the topaz, 
Ex. 39 :11, signifying secret knowledge, hearing and tact. Some 
strange contention usually surrounds the marriage of this tribe, 
as strong opposition. 

Described. 

They have very dark hair and eyes, their hair often wavy 
or bushy, prominent nose, rather large nostrils, receding fore- 
head, dark complexion and a keen, sharp, expressive eye, yet 
subject to disease and accident some time in life; rather low in 
stature, unless crossed with the tribe of Levi; this gives them 
height and the more literary turn of mind, kinder disposition 
and fairer complexion of the Levi. As a rule they have broad 
hands and feet, high cheek bones, an active, uneasy organization, 
are very uncertain in form of body. They have an active walk. 
Some are not as polished in personal appearance as they should 



62 Bible Flirc)wlo(j\j 

be for their own good; would rather be as nature created them, 
being' rather fierce in anger. People seldom disturb them in 
their habits; for this reason they were divided from the other 
tribes, Gen. 49 :7. The Spanish people as a rule are of this tribe. 
Their nature is very much modified among the Anglo-Saxons. 
Their emblem is Scorpio, or the watchman, with drawn sword, 
representing their tact in being ready for duty, or prepared for 
any unexpected intruder of their rights. ]\Iany can see well 
in the dark night. "Watchman what of the night?"

TRIBE OF ISSACHAR.

Gen. 30:14-18. 



History — 

Gen. 49; 14, 15. 
Deut. 33:18. 
I. Chr. 7:20. 




THEODORE G. MEYER. 



You belong to the tribe of Issachar, 
Ircated on the head in the organs of vita- 
tiveness and destructiveness. They have 
a strong desire to live, and will recover 
many times when all hopes of recovery 
seem gone. Their dread of the final 
change is great. They shrink from 
death, and also from those in power over 
them in home and society. They require 
firm friends to keep them in society, un- 
less highly gifted^j^ as many are, for they 
are lacking irj firmness and self-esteem 
as a rule, and are easilv discouraged. 



Intellectually. 

AYhen educated and well balanced with the three tribes men- 
tioned, they are scientific and possess large imagination and in- 
tuitive reasoning, and are easily educated, and have a passion 
for all kinds of news and knowledge in general, having good 
retentive memories. They are very successful in Dook stores 
and news stands. They do not study one subject long enough, 
as a rule, to accomplish much when there is required deep 
thought. As leaders they are very unfortunate, because of their 
changeable nature, and they are inclined to learn from sight. 



64 Bible Phrenology 

instead of personal powers to study. Yet those that are gifted 
in some calling, where they can handle it themselves, are found 
in some very prominent positions not applied to them generally 
as a tribe; they quickly become tired intellectually; not being 
adapted to the higher education. When gifted with large ac- 
quisitiveness, they are energetic, industrious and many become 
wealthy ; but they usually retire to a quiet life. The world does 
not know them, except through their possessions. They are 
often found as artists, poets and writers on domestic lines, as 
Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"; C. H. 
Spurgeon, English minister; Ralph W. Emerson, writer and 
poet, were of this tribe. 

Disposition. 

They have a quick, active walk, rather long stride, sharp 
sight, very restless under restraint, full of changes. They have 
large destructiveness, giving them rather an ill nature toward 
•those on an equality with them, but are very respectful to those 
above them in position, whether they feel to be so or not. At 
times they are very humorous and make gigantic expressions in 
talking or writing. They desire humble, low cottages as homes. 
They do not care for high dwellings. They enjoy camp life, 
where they know they will be perfectly safe. They do not care 
for things about them that require constant care, although there 
are exceptions. They do not aspire to high position, for this 
same reason, although they may have the intellect. 

Described. 

These people are usually short in stature, large in the organs 
hehind the ears, where the tribe is located. They usually are 
drawn down in the back of the neck with prominent shoulders 
and breast bones. They have receding forehead, prominent 
chins, with an upward look, also drooping eyelids and a peculiar, 
shy look out of their eyes ; fingers long ; rather fair complexion, 



House of Jacob 65 

which depends on the tribe cross. These people as children are 
troubled very much with their spine, especially until it gets its 
natural form. There will be a lump or prominent roundness 
of one shoulder, in some. There are people that have been hurt 
in the back also. Their features can be told from those of the 
tribe. Some ofi the other tribes have round shoulders, from 
their marriage with this tribe. They can be told by their in- 
tellect being stronger in the direction of their influencing tribe, 
yet it weakens their own tribal gift. The people of the tribe 
of Issachar that have been elevated by inter-marriage with 
Judah, Joseph and others, are often quite straight in stature, 
with but slight drawn appearance. They are very proficient 
as gardeners, dealing in poultry, handling packages, cooks, and 
general domestic work. 

The Second Class. 

The early condition of these people was that of hunchbacks. 
We have some of the true type with us yet, as well as the other 
tribes, and in the beginning they were servants. They are very 
hard to educate; some, with their strong combative nature, re- 
fuse to attend school,, so keep in their natural calling as servants ; 
learn by observation, hearing and seeing things done. Some 
are quite expert in domestic and mechanical callings. Stooping 
does not hurt them. They usually feel that they are carrying 
the burdens for every one, and their responsibilities are great, 
yet much of this may be imagination. 

Description of Second Class. 

They have very coarse, black hair, dark complexion, large 
hands and feet. When they sit down they double up like a jack- 
knife; rather wide mouth, strong, even teeth, head drawn down 
between their shoulders, hunch back, and prominent breast bone. 
Some are very pleasant and agreeable, yet have their spells cf 
combative feelings, a vague imagining of some evil, and distrust- 



66 Bible Plirowlogy 

ful of those around them. These should work among strangers. 
They cannot get along with their own people. They should be 
constantly employed. Many take them to be cripples and re- 
move every responsibility of labor from them. That is what 
makes them weakly. They are a healthy, long-lived people when 
in their proper sphere of usefulness. If not employed they will 
feel like destroying things about them, and making themselves 
generally disagreeable, perverting their tribe gift instead of 
doing good, as they are not happy unless employed. They dress 
in different dark shades, brown and black. They are attracted 
in marriage to Judah, Joseph and Dan, but should marry in 
their own trib^. 

Their sacred stone is the amethyst, lilac shade, and the 
language is reason and patience in labor, when worn by this 
tribe. Their emblem is Gemini represented by the twins, show- 
ing their arms to be used in service and labor, feet to run er- 
rands; sitting position represents an humble position, and is 
given to this tribe that their calling would be known. 



HOUSE or EDOM. 

Genesis 25:27. 



Esau was a cunning hunter. This nature is handed down 
to the nation that sprung from Esau, and is a key to their cun- 
ning wit and original jokes of these people. This house being 
located in the organ of individuality makes them quick witted, 
^nd they show great ability to imitate, also have strong appetites 
and are passionate in love or hate. They are given to sports and 
amusements of all kinds, where color and display is called for; 
also games, contests and racing. They were a roaming people, 
were to live by the sword, and now claim their name from 
Romulus, meaning a roaming people. 

EsAu^s Blessing. 

Genesis 27:39. 

Isaac, his father said: "Behold, thy dwelling shall be the 
fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; by 
thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it 
shall come to pass when thou shalt have dominion, thou shalt 
hreak his yoke from olf thy neck." This was fulfilled when the 
Romans conquered the nations, and Esau hated his brother 
Jacob. This hatred represents a wall to keep the nations apart 
irom inter-marrying. This feeling still exists to a certain degree 
between the English and Roman nations, which is an for the 
good of the people. 

Book of Job. 

Chapter 1:13. 

Job was a great man in the Edomite tribes, as was Moses 
in the tribes of Israel. God was showing his great power and

miracles in a different way, because they were a different kind 
of people, and required a different understanding of God's 
powers. ' ' And there was a day when his sons and his daughters 
Avere eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house," 
when the troubles came uDon his family. They are our greatest 
wine drinkers of today. Bacchus and Jupiter were Roman gods 
of wine. These people as a nation are strong and powerful; 
great builders, contractors; easily educated and adapted to 
heavy responsibilities, as well as rulers and officers. In chapter 
40 we find God has foreshown their future life work and in a 
riddle tells of Behemoth, which represents our cars of today, 
and they are our chief of the highAvays of travel. The moun- 
tains bring forth food for him — coal and wood. Twenty-fourth 
verse: "And his nose {Ov cow catcher) pierceth through the 
snares." Chapter 41 is also another riddle Drophecy of the 
great Leviathan, which represents a comparison of the armor 
of war at that time, with the future vessels of war of the future 
time. The wonderful vessel Oregon was built by Irving M. 
Scott; the first battleship of the modern navy on the Pacific 
Coast. He had the God-given faculty, and came of this houSv.\ 
It seems he has fulfilled this prophecy. The war with Spain 
brought the Oregon's opportunity. The story of her record 
breaking voyage in five oceans, from Puget Sound to Florida, 
and how she arrived without a rivit or an engine out of order, 
all ready for battle, is known to all the world, and she is really 
a modern leviathan. You will notice the sons of Esau were Job's 
friends.

hundred years before there was a king in Israel.

love, pleasure, anger or any emotional feeling is displayed in 
the countenance, by the activity of the blood rushing to the face, 
or from the face, as the case may be. This is the greatest differ- 
ence between the nations.

JULIUS CAESAR. 



You belono: to the tribe of Eliphaz, 
located on the head in the organ of ven- 
eration ; firmness and benevolence with 
human nature and comparison usually 
full. They are eminently respectful and 
polite in company, with a strong desire 
that others should be the same to them, 
feeling very much hurt if disrespect is 
shoAvn them. They are inclined to be 
religious and praj^erful. If not religi- 
ous will display a worshipful spirit for 
whatever they do place their mind and 
heart upon. They evince great rever- 
ence for time honored laws, rules and fashions; admirers of the 
good old ways, especially at mature age ; will then hold onto 
their old style through life, although there are exceptions. Ven- 
eration and firmness are the leading spiritual gifts of this tribe, 
yet, if their nature becomes perverted, they appear just the 
opposite to their own good principles, firm in unbelief. They 
should guard against being led into a fixed, formal, religious 
rut, lacking the spiritual inspiration. There is sometimes as 
much harm done by being too formal as by being too informal. 
These people are kind to the afflicted, forgiving with ready 
sympathies, and if deficient in cautiousness and acquisitiveness, 



72 Bible Phrenology 

an open purse, and they often impoverish themselves to give 
to others. 

IXTELLECTUALLY. 

These people are usually of a strong, deep, interior intellect, 
and. if properly educated, able to handle large and extensive 
business or professions, handling the people in large bodies; 
good ability to reason, to discover new truths by inductive rea- 
soning. Those with large self-esteem are found as presidents, 
officers, rulers, ministers, priests, public speakers, educators and 
teachers. They are not adapted for labor, unless crossed with 
a domestic tribe. These people are often fanatically religious. 
They have large secretiveness and a great capacity for making 
plans to overcome those they deem their enemies, as well as 
analytical investigators and good physicians. Those with large 
constructiveness and ideality can write and speak with great 
correctness, efficiency and elegance, a style distinguished for 
clearness, as well as beauty; with these organs small, are liable 
to be bothered with imperfect and confusing comparisons, but 
w^ould make good chemists. 

Disposition. 

They are patient and enduring in any plan or business they 
undertake with strangers, but probably not so much so with 
their relatives, as they are better adapted for handling the 
people in public life, or business on a large plan. This naturally 
causes a deficiency in their domestic life. They are, as a rule, 
great lovers of position and power and are apt to combine it 
with their religion. 

Described. 

They are rather tall, sinewy, may be fleshy, but very en- 
ergetic ; rather long features : closed mouth, unless crossed with 
Reuel; if so, may show their upper teeth; deep, quiet, expressive

eyes ; nose inclined to Eoman ; high in the organs of benevolence ; 
complexion medium. Crossed with the tribe of Omar lightens 
the complexion. They are attracted in marriage to the tribes 
of Reuel, Gatam and Omar. The following are of this tribe : 

Julius Ceasar, ruler. 

Pliney Elder, Roman historian. 

Archbishop Ireland. 

Job, of Bible times. 

Those of his tribe were his friends, Job. 42 :9. They dress in

TRIBE or OMAR. 



Meaning a ruler. 



History — 

Gen. 36:15. 



Blessing — 

Overseers and convey- 
ancers; spiritual work. 




HEPBURN. 



You belong to the tribe of Omar, lo- 
cated in the organs of self-esteem and 
spirituality. They are very sensitive to 
praise or blame; as a rule rather selfish 
in their own views and opinions. When 
educated for governors, overseers, rulers 
and similar positions, their self-esteem 
is very essential, giving them dignity 
and pride of position, holding them up. 
Therefore thej' are able to help others 
UD. Much good is therefore accom- 
plished by them. They desire to be on 
the right side of life, and yet much de- 
pends on their early training or they may .I'udge from a selfish 
standpoint. If started in the wrong way while young, may hold 
to their selfish w^ays as right until late in life, causing them- 
selves to be misunderstood by others, and, therefore, they meet 
with many disappointments Avhich would be unnecessary if they 
did not object to receiving instruction from those who are their 
equals. They often seek or want to learn from those in high 
authority before they will accept teaching; for this reason they 
are often found without education and below their own true 
position. As children they are hard to please or control by their 
own people, yet often affable with strangers, who often take 
advantage of them. For this reason, they should be educated, 



House of Edom 75 

if possible, away from home. They exhibit a resisting nature at 
home in many ways, which prevents them from learning, and 
they often leave home before they are grown and never receive 
the proper education of the high class that belongs to them. 
When educated away from home they learn rapidly and stand 
at the head of their classes, and later in life in their profession 
or business, when not misguided by false teaching or an early 
perverted life. They have great faith in the spiritual life and 
the teaching of God's word and are most likely to take the true 
course in life when they allow their minds to be guided by what 
they intuitively feel to be the right way. Should this grand 
and beautiful gift be perverted they will be very unhappy. If 
they are superstitious and believe in evil spirits and infidelity, 
they may become careless and untrustworthy. They should re- 
strain from this, for it is just the opposite of their true nature, 
and it will cause everything in life to seem badly mixed with 
evil. They that find this to be their condition should guard 
against it by directing their minds to the word of God, as they 
are very proficient in understanding the same, if they make an 
effort themselves and not believe what other doubters of the 
truth tell them. This is where they get their start in unbelief, 
not from the word of God. 

Intellectually. 

They are ambitious and aspiring, active and determined in 
their opinions, learn very quickly when they get properly started, 
love to stand alone on their own principles, high minded and 
noble hearted. They have good retentive memories, especially 
along the line of military tactics and transferring property, 
deeds and in secretaries' work. Those not educated for business 
life are successful as expressmen, watchmen and policemen and 
in hauling and handling of horses in different ways. They love 
to meditate on the immortality of the soul, the future life, the 
existence and perfection of man and his destiny. Those with a 
high state of mental and physical culture and strong religious 



76 Bible Fhrenology 

faith may receive true spiritual visions when enjoying spiritual 
conversation. For this reason they are proficient as ministers, 
teachers and discoverers of new spiritual truths and are eminent 
writers on these lines. They are very scientific in all their re- 
searches and studies. They have a desire to be looked up to, 
which comes from this high class, of intellect, and their being 
of a royal tribe. Members of this tribe, of either sex, desire to 
be rulers of the home and conditions around them. They expect 
strict obedience from children. They have occult ability; are 
able to understand the hidden laws, such as astronomy and the 
sciences in their various forms, when educated, and are fine, 
earnest public speakers. They should have a classic education 
in keeping with their tribe. They are eminent as officers, states""- 
men, bankers and in different government positions, as Presi- 
dents and in military positions, where they can give commands 
and be leaders of the people. This is their position in life. The 
Lord gave them this gift (all good gifts come from above), and 
they should remain in these callings to be successful. For this 
reason they are not fortunate as laborers. They should learn 
how to rule, that the world may be ruled better than it is. They 
should not try to rule w^hen they are not capable. There are 
many who expect to be obeyed when they do not know as much 
as those from whom they expect obedience. They should strive 
to become worthy of being looked up to. They should not seek 
the society of those who are below them, who will treat them as 
superiors, and shun those above them, but should cultivate the 
society of those who are up to their own standard, to be happy 
and successful. They should not make servants out of their 
■wives and husbands. This will cause them to dislike them and 
to seek other society. ]Many are musical and very artistic and 
particular in all that they^ do. They are not mechanical, as a 
rule. Those crossed with the tribe of Gatam often become won- 
derful builders and contractors. This tribe of Omar built the 
first foundation of the Temple of Mecca. 



House of Edom 11 

Disposition. 

They have an active mind, are quick in thought and are 
very good imitators and actors. They have ready wit and ex- 
press themselves in rather fluent language. They are very 
earnest and exacting at times and speak in a commanding tone 
of voice, yet their conversation is pleasant and agreeable. They 
have a hasty, nervous temper; often speak words that hurt 
themselves as well as others, and after their temper is over they 
feel weak and sick themselves. They should restain from anger. 
They are rather jealous natured with a political turn of mind; 
have decided likes and dislikes. Those who, on account of the 
lack of education, are compelled to labor, should seek positions 
where they have regular fixed wages or incomes and should 
choose the lighter branches of labor and mechanical work. They 
are successful in handling sharp edged tools, as in dentistry, 
manufacturing musical instruments, engraving, mining, tinning, 
painting and in the hardware trades. They take pride in fine 
horses and are successful in raising stock, flowers, fruit and 
vegetables. The women are adapted for the same pursuits as 
the men when educated the same. They should choose the lighter 
branches of work or trade. Many are fine housekeepers. Hav- 
ing artistic ability and being lovers of beauty and refinement, 
they, like the men, enjoy having servants to do the hard, labori- 
ous work while they give commands. This is as it should be, 
but they should guard against making servants of the members 
of their own family, although they seldom have large families, 
unless under very favorable conditions. There are some very 
fine musicians among them, yet, as a rule, their music is rather 
sharp and strong. 

Described. 

They are rather tall and gracefully built, usually of polished 
manners and pleasing address, when cultured; they have a mil- 
itary bearing ; red or light hair, may incline to curl ; blue or 
gray eyes ; senitive and refined features ; rather small hands and 



78 Bible Phreuology 

feet; rather small boned structure: high top head; prominent 
chin; Roman nose, and may have prominent upper teeth if 
<'rossed with the tribe of Zerah : if crossed with Gatam, a stronger 
boned bodily structure. The following are of this tribe: 

William T. Sherman, general. 

George Comb, phrenologist. 

Claud F. Wright, theosophist lecturer. 

John Brown, anti-slavery orator. 

These people belong to the professional classes. They are 
attracted in marriage to the tribes of Korah, Zerah and Gatam. 
They dress in choice bright colors, scarlet and royal shades, 
.^vhen not ruled by fashions and circumstances ; shades grow 
darker as they grow older. Their lucky stone is the chrysolite. 
It gives freedom from evil passions, good luck in high positions, 
and travel, when worn by this tribe. Isaiah 54:15.

REV. J. HYATT SMITH. 



You belong to the tribe of Teman, 
located on the head in the organs of 
ideality and constructiveness. These 
people are refined in their tastes and 
aspirations and are lovers of the beauti- 
ful and of real life. 

Intellectually. 

They are great lovers of beautiful 
words; grammarians; teachers of lan- 
guages, ethics, expression and action (cr 
physical culture) ; good reasoners and 
philosophers, when properly educated. 
They are poetical and artistic and belong to the professional and 
literary class; when writers, very select in style. They are suc- 
cessful as public speakers, usually on science ; cashiers and 
cleks; care but little for politics; are very scientific in their 
business life; easily take up new plans or views if they are 
better than the old way; are- usually found in professional so- 
ciety and where grandeur and beauty are displayed. They are 
musical and splendid entertainers. They are adapted for the 
handling of jewelry and gold and silver in their different busi- 
ness forms. Many rise to great honors and accomplish much 
good in the world, especially so when they become religious and 
are well educated. Should their true nature become perverted 



80 Bihle Phrenologij 

by evil influence of society, they may become verj- reckless, 
especially in their love affairs, and very unhappy because they 
realize their condition so keenly. This tribe of people are often 
influenced by beauty in its various forms (fine, flattering lan- 
guage), and led from the right path, which will bring them 
sorrow and grief. 

Disposition. 

They are quick, bright, winning and kind hearted ; they love 
to entertain those they call their friends; they are mirthful and 
full of jokes at times, then silent even to sadness. Some would 
call them extremists. In their conversation they are careful to 
hurt one's feelings. They can speak kindly even when angry, 
under various conditions, and can speak their minds plainly and 
cuttingl}^ when it is necessary to overcome difficulties in this 
way and they want that to be the end. They do not like quarrel- 
ing. They live above that, especially after mature age. They 
can be haughty and resentful if imposed upon. They have a 
secretive nature through their love of mysterious things — 
omens, dreams and fortune telling. They have ability in palm 
istry. There are exceptions, for some are taught against such 
things. These people are successful in the manufacture of musi- 
cal instruments, jewelry, tinware, millinery and fancy design- 
ing. When uneducated should choose the finer branches _of 
mechanical art and trade— painting, engraving, book making, 
handling of fruit, flowers and fancy goods of all kinds. They 
do not enjoy a soldier's .life. They are not inclined to push 
themselves into hardship. As a rule, they do not believe in waj*. 
They should guard against being too easily influenced by the 
beautiful and ornamental side of life, to the neglect of the sub- 
stantial and useful side. Unless they are careful they wall meet 
with many disappointments and be very unhappy. Not being 
adapted to the rough elements of life, they would be tramplea 
down very low. They could not defend themselves. This tribe 's 
spiritual gift is to beautify and to teach others how to make 
this life more beautiful and sacred (both body and mind), and 



House of Edom 81 

pleasant for others as well as themselves, but should not go to 
extremes in this and impoverish themselves as well as others. 
They should study both sides of life, which gives strength ta 
judge the happy medium. They should strive hard for an edu- 
cation to be successful in life. They love to do something out 
of the ordinary line of life because of their love of mystery, 
giving them ability as teachers of science in its various branches ; 
as milliners and kindergarteners. They are a very inventive 
class. They have great love of home and family and appear- 
ance. Many times they go to extremes in this to the neglect of 
the cultivation of the inner or spiritual life. The following are 
of this tribe : 

Robert Fulton, eminent inventor. 

James Gregory, inventor and scientific scholar. 

William J. Bryan, speaker. 

They are attracted in marriage to the tribes of Amalek and 
Nahath. They dress in rich, delicate shades and good material. 
Their lucky stone is the ruby, Isaiah 54:11. Its language is 
great love. It will bring luck to this tribe when worn. 

Described. 

Medium in stature, large through the temples and organ of 
ideality ; rather delicate in physical structure, medium or small 
hands and feet, unless crossed with the tribe of Nahath; this 
gives them coarser features with prominent teeth. They have 
dark hair and beautiful, expressive blue or brown eyes; refined 
features, clear complexion, modest and graceful in appearance, 
and often handsome. These people are, as a rule, very persistent 
in their studies, unless too much given to following after beauti- 
ful things. A beautiful, cultured mind is greater to them than 
all else. They want to know the why and wherefore of every- 
thing they do not readily understand. They go to the bottom of 
every subject they take up and often discover new truths that 
others have passed over. This is the philosopher's gift; also 
the physician's. Some are successful in art and in composing 
music. They are good as chemists and dentists. They are not 
successful as laborers.

MISS HELEN HAY. 



You belong to the tribe of Korah, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of spir- 
ituality and self-esteem. This tribe has 
strong spiritual foresight of what is 
right and just, yet those uneducated, if 
not on their guard, will exhibit a selfish 
disregard of others' rights and privil- 
eges. Especially is this true on the ma- 
terial side of domestic life. There is no 
need for restraint in spirituality and 
education. This tribe is always ahead 
of the times in which they live, a beacon 
light in the spiritual life. AYhen guided 
by their high spirituality and intuitive thoughts, they are, as^ 
a rule, reliable and just, although often overruled by others, 
because of their fine, sensitive nature, and misunderstood by 
others because of their advanced thoughts. Their flesh is also 
very sensitive to the touch. This makes them fear things of a 
rough nature, with which they come in contact, even people. 
As children they suffer much on this account, and also at meal 
time, if not fortunately situated and able to control things about 
them. 

Intellectually. 

They have a fine business mind, are proud of personal ap- 
preciation, as few appreciate them. They are lovers of high 



House of Edom 83 

positions. They are noted for their thoroughness in their studies 
and become wonderful scholars when they have the opportunity. 
They dislike confinement to old, worn-out ideas. They are very 
original and independent; are seldom ready to accept others' 
views, yet they have many to give. They are fond of life in its 
highest development ; will contend for their rights and privileges. 
They seem to be more interested in the spiri'^ual welfare of the 
home and family than in the physical comforts. They love to 
meditate upon the immortality of the soul and are often quite 
prophetical in foretelling events to come, or the fulfillment of 
the prophecies. They are eminent as officers, bankers and clerks. 
The higher the position the better they can fill it, if properly 
cultured. They are usually adepts in art and musical callings. 
They are good as typewriters, proof readers, bookkeepers, cash- 
iers, interpreters, also in writing notices and letters, and in 
anything requiring quick sight and action. They are not adapt- 
ed for labor. They are good as traveling agents, With a 
classical education or profession they are most likely to remain 
steadfast to their callings, that being a power they can take 
with them on short notice and begin with in any place. Dent- 
istry is a good mechanical work for them. They are also good 
as tinners and manufacturers of musical instruments and toys 
and in like callings. Those educated for public life as ministers 
and speakers are very fine and classic. As writers they usually 
write on spiritual subjects, science and finance. These people 
are not confined to close study, as are many others. They seem 
to scarcely look at a page. They seem to read it intuitively, 
and they are the same with other things through life. They 
should guard against perverting this spiritual tribe gift, that 
has been given this tribe for the perfecting of God's kingdom 
on earth as it is in heaven. When perverted they will then hate 
all spiritual manifestations, with disbelief in any creed, and 
will believe in evil signs and omens. Everything will seem mixed 
with evil and life a troubled mixture. They should get right. 



84 Bihle Phrenology 

Disposition. 
They are very independent thinkers. They have a way of 
thinking altogether their own, which they can change at once 
if they desire to do so. They are quick and active and pas- 
sionate in hate and love. Their anger is soon over, yet they 
often feel nettled or cross if things do not go their way. They 
flit from place to place, butterfly fashion, because the spiritual 
nature is stronger than the physical. They soon become weary 
if compelled to remain at one thing too long. This causes them 
to appear impatient to others, while others seem sluggish to 
them. They are kind and gentle to the sick and oppressed, yet 
are not adapted to be nurses. They are too nervous and active, 
unless crossed with a domestic tribe; this may modify their 
nature. Much depends on their early training and education 
whether they accomplish much or little in life, as they are in- 
clined to many changes in life. Their language is pleasant, 
pointed, scientific and mirthful, yet, when quiet, they are very 
silent. They can rest only when in perfect silence; for this 
reason they are much annoyed by others unconsciously. 

Described. 

Rather tall and gracefully built, regular features, brilliant 
and expressive dark blue or black eyes, clear complexion, as a 
rule, but not fair, hair often curly, prominent top head, rather 
pointed chin, nose rather small and inclined to be Roman; 
delicate in bodily structure, unless crossed with a domestic tribe. 
This gives them more bodily strength. They require rooms that 
are carefully cared for and well ventilated, and very refined 
and pure food, to be healthy. They are peculiar about their 
eating. They never seem to feel in harmony with the many, or 
with set fashions. They desire to have liberty in this as well 
as in other things; dislike confinement to others' rule. The 
following are of this tribe : 

Patrick Henry, celebrated orator. 

Andrew Jackson, ex-President of the United States. 



House of Edofii 85 

Professor H. T. Griffith, phrenologist. 

These people are not as successful in domestic callings as 
many others, unless in the lighter and refined parts. When 
thQv become heavily burdened they soon break in spirit and a 
very unhappy life is the result. They seldom settle down until 
late in life, and many prefer a single life. This tribe is attracted 
in marriage to the tribes of Jeush, Omar and Eliphaz. The off- 
spring will take on a higher grade of intellect than the parents. 
They dress in strange or choice transparent colors, blending 
with their complexion and their stone. Their lucky stone is the 
pearl, Isaiah 54:11. The language of the stone is juck in change 
and travel.

cess in life financially, socially and intellectually with proper cul- 
ture. They have high aspirations in art and poetry. There is a 
constant danger of their becoming too fastidious and exacting 
with those around them, and they are hard to please, because they 
have a vivid imagination and set up a high standard of character 
and manner that they themselves cannot always live up to, and 
they judge others from the same outward appearance. Yet those 
that are accustomed to meet people become good judges of char- 
acter. They also have a remarkable mechanical passion, making, 
creating or inventing new ways of doing things; to beautify; 
new designs in anything they are interested in, mental or me-

perfect things of this world, and to teach others. Some apply 
this gift to the medical profession, especially men ; manufactur-

As ministers and teachers they seldom 
lack for words. This overabundant language, in some com-

talk but little. These people are proficient teachers, proof 
readers and type setters. They are well adapted to trade and 
accumulation of wealth. Their abilities are in great demand 
in society, as they readily learn the ins and outs that are needed 
to make up the proper combinations, having good construction

love of home and family and will have many domestic sorrows

military cast of mind, giving ability and desire for office and 
love of country. Crossed with Amalek gives a deeper desire for 
educational callings, such as teachers, elocution and public

They are versatile, amiable and pleasant. They make their 
friends feel at home around them. They are very sensitive to 
what their friends think of them and they grieve much if of-

have a hasty, revengeful temper, yet, when not angry, they ap- 
preciate sympathy and kindness and are forgiving and kind. 
They desire to hide their own faults as well as those of their 
friends. Their quick, cutting way when angry affects their 
nerves, causing them to be sickly. They should restrain from 
anger if possible. These people are active and ambitious to 
accomplish some good, with good powers to overcome difficulties 
that often surround them. They keep at work as long as possi- 
ble and desire others to do the same. They should rest more. 
They should compose their minds to rest a short time each day. 
This will give them health and strength. They are generous 
providers to a fault ; quite successful in dealing in horses and 
cattle, farms and lands ; are good agents and bookkeepers, when 
their religion does not hinder are fond of music and dancin":; 
are fond of entertainments; are mirthful and enjoy jokes; men

good at calculating and planning for home comforts, and are 
good architects and builders.

as a tribe. When properly educated and 
with a refined religious influence, they 
become a power for good, but one just as 
powerful when they take the wrong di- 
rection for evil. They have great 
strength and endurance in mind and 
body. Their executive ability is some- 
thing wonderful when their reasoning faculties are not deficient ; 
can face death or anything else that man is capable of endur- 
ing ; can do two or three days ' work in one if their own interests 
are at stake. 




COL. G. B. McCLELLAN. 



• Intellectually. 

They are resolute and determined. They are adapted for a 
general education, broad and far reaching; no danger of ex- 
hausting their vitality. They should work on a large plan, 
either intellectually or otherwise, as managers of large enter- 
prises, as sea captains, ship builders, builders, contractors, min- 
ers; in logging; as lumbermen, railroad men, lawyers, surgeons, 
officers and soldiers. They represent many of the publishers, 



House of Edam 93 

editors and managers of large enterprises. They are natural 
overcomers; can bear down all opposition. They have good 
mechanical and perceptive abilities ; a passion for making things. 
Those who have had fewer educational advantages are fortunate 
in handling stone and brick in various w^ays; as designers and 
stone cutters. They are not averse to killing animals and any- 
thing they wish to get rid of, as butchers. The Roman soldiers 
showed a sample of their bravery and ability. The greatest the 
world has ever known. They have good order in military dis- 
cipline and their business life and whatever they do. 

Disposition. 

They are quick and reserved, as a rule, liberal and free 
hearted to their friends and enjoy social eating and drinking, 
many times go to extremes in this because they can endure. 
This often becomes an injury to themselves and friends. They 
should restrain, as health, friends and position may flee from 
them unexpectedly. AYhen provoked to anger they are very 
violent and feel the most terrible indignation toward an enemy 
and with their large secretiveness often lay hidden plans to trap 
their foes in many ways. They are successful as criminal law- 
yers and surgeons. These people are not adapted for ligh: and 
confining employment, yet they are, as a rule, musical and good 
conversationalists. Women as well as men require responsible 
positions, such as cooks, managers of hospitals and ooarding 
houses, housekeepers and matrons of large establishments. 

Described. 

They are powerfully built, of medium or large stature, strong 
features, aquiline or short nose ; rather square face ; strong, 
firm mouth; dark hair; gray or dark eyes; medium complexion. 
These people are either very good or very bad and are strongly 
felt in the community in which they live. Women are the same 
as men, only in a lesser degree than described. As children they 



94 Bible Phrenology 

require strong discipline and strict rules to live by or they 
become reckless and make trouble with those around them. The 
following are of this tribe : 

John Roach, ship builder. 

John L. Sullivan, pugilist. 

M. D. L. Sullivan, engineer. 

They are attracted in marriage to the tribes of Gatam and 
Amalek. Their lucky stone is the garnet and gives luck, force 
and endurance when worn; Isaiah 54:11.

Blessing — 

Builders; managers of

You belono: to the tribe of Gatam, 
located on the head in the organs of 
destructiveness (executiveness) and se- 
cretiveness. These people are reserved 
in the expression of their sentiments to 
strangers ; keep their plans and designs 
to themselves; are very discreet. Their 
most intimate friends often feel that 
they are not sure that they know them. 
Their strong executive nature makes 
them exceedingly resolute. They are 
good listeners and hear and know all 
that is going on around them. They 
have remarkable mechanical talent ; a passion for inventing and 
making things; take to tools naturally and even without edu- 
cation have accomplished great things. Women are good teach- 
ers when they have the opportunity ; can hold any position they 
are educated for that requires strength and energy. 




REV. J. F. McCRARY. 



Intellectually. 

Those with education become a wonderful power in any of 
their respective callings, having great endurance mentally and 
physically. They can resist the best advice or the worst tempta- 
tion. They can make their own way in life with no one to blame 
or thank for their high positions and can elevate others around

them. Should they go down in life their influence may go with 
them. They are usually well versed in politics, law and history ; 
they are good in speculation and in dealing in large bodies .of 
land : as managers of large enterprises ; they are given to re- 
search and science. AVhen educated, independent in their views ; 
a style altogether their own. They are proficient as onicers, 
founders of new plans of education and government : in politics, 
as builders and contractors. They are not confined to any one 
kind of work, yet feel rather worthless and weak when not 
employed in some heavy, responsible calling. As day laborers, 
they can do two days' work in one when their personal interest 
io aroused: are not found as laborers unless uneducated. Many 
are found as policemen in large cities and as city officers; also 
as secretaries, cashiers, physicians and office surgeons. Those 
inclined to religion are powerful and strong workers as min- 
isters or priests and managers of large religious bodies. They 
are not found in small positions. They demand good wages, even 
when uneducated. AYomen are fine as teachers and matrons of 
large institutions, being strong and resolute. They think more 
of the substantial than the ornamental. There are not many 
found in artistic callings. They are good fiinanciers. and. as a 
rule, those that are cultured handle much wealth, of which they 
are very fond. ^lany take up law and are very successful in 
criminal cases. Women handle the same callings as men when 
educated. 

Disposition. 

They are silent and thoughtful in busmess; good conversa- 
tionalists and mirthful with friends: resentful in temper, even 
violent. They show considerable jealousy at times without much 
cause for it: they display good logic and determination in get- 
ting the best of an enemy, when he least expects it. They have 
good mathematical talent and good perceptive faculties. It is 
not easy for them to recognize the necessity of restraining their 
feelings or moderating their habits. They aret)ften disagreeable 
to others and they hinder their own happiness; being so strong

the weak will shrink from them, especialh^ while young. Many 
pass through life iiiipoverished in manners, because, instead of 
learning of others, their power influences those around them. 
Their sociability is slrong. They are lovers of grand social en- 
tertainments where there is eating and drinking, music and 
dancing. They are good athletes and sportsmen. They should 
beware of the social glass and gratification of the physical senses, 
as these, unguarded, may bring down the strongest and most 
powerful. The following are of this tribe : 

Elihu Root, Secretary of AYar. 

Colonel George B. McClellan. 

Mrs. Mary B. Youngerman, President National AY. R. C.

wrinkled at mature age ; rather square face ; broad, strong chin ; 
strong build ; medium height ; prominent blue eyes with a watch- 
ful expression ; fair or medium complexion ; aquiline nose and 
prominent teeth. Those crossed with the tribe of Omar have 
red or light hair. They dress in good strong material with very 
little trimming at mature age. They are attracted in marriage 
to the tribes of Jaalam, Zepho and Teman. Their lucky stone 
is the bloodstone : gives friendship and success in business and 
banishes strife and crime.

expect those around them to be the same; work when they 
work; lovers of power and position and are very watchful over

manufacturing domestic goods and they labor in these depart- 
ments. They are not much given to public callings, yet those 
that are educated are good teachers and there are many very 
proficient writers and secretaries among them. They are good 



Hotise of Edom ,99 

at calculating and bookkeeping and have a passion for making 
things. Women are good dressmakers when they take the time 
to learn. They are so active and restless that they do not like 
confinement in their studies — sticking to a thing until it is ac- 
complished. They are much inclined to the water and watering 
places, seaside and places of resort. They are sea captains, 
sailors and marines. They are good in laundry work and fishing 
and are lovers of bathing, rowing, hunting and such amusements, 
where there is eating and drinking. (Should beware of the 
social glass.) 

Disposition. 

They are sociable and entertaining, but changeable from sor- 
row to anger ; easily moved to tears, being easily affected by 
conditions around them, yet they make their friends feel at 
home. Those they do not like will soon find it out, as they are 
outspoken and high tempered, but soon over it. They are in- 
clined to worry and fret ; very sensitive to mistreatment and 
have a feeling of revenge and plan secretively to surprise either 
a friend of an enemy ; enjoy tricks and fun, especially while 
young. They are often sick from worry and restlessness under 
grief or restraint, which they find plenty of. They have much 
domestic strife and sorrow to contend against. They are watch- 
ful over their family in sickness, as a rule, yet there are ex- 
<2eptions.

lovers of dancing and music when their religion does not restrain

them. These people rely too much on observation and hearing: 
do not apply themselves to deep studies long enough at a time 
to become e/Uicated as well as many others are. They enjoy 
callings they can learn by observation. Those who add educa- 
tion to their natural talent for observing are found in many 
high positions and are successful. They make good policemen, 
watchmen and city officers. AVomen are the same in learning as 
men when given the opportunity. They are resolute and brave : 
make good officers and soldiei*s. The following are of this tribe :

MAGGIE O'FLINN. 



You belong to the tribe of Jeusb, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of form, 
language and individuality. They talk 
a great deal, yet few have good articula- 
tion. 

Intellectl'ally. 

They require a good education and 
much patience while young, if they 
would accomplish much in business, as 
they do not care to take the trouble to 
go into details when it requires study 
and thought, as they rely upon what 
they see and hear and they learn much faster by being told and 
by actual observation than by reason and study. They can re- 
member faces, forms and places: have a remarkable ability to 
observe and investigate things around them, especially of a do- 
mestic nature. They are good imitators and are comical in their 
expressions. They are very careful in their domestic work. If 
they have been started properly while young they will usually 
be faithful, and vice versa, as they depend more on imitating 
and observation, having good form and individuality. They 
can make anything after seeing it done. Many are good prac- 
tical dressmakers, but not inventors of styles. They are good, 
faithful cooks: splendid servants when well trainedj faithful 
nurses and usually devoted Christians. They are not adapted 



102 Bihie Phrenology 

for the higher walks of life. They are industrious and full of 
life and love music and dancing. 

Disposition. 

The}'' are watchful of persons and things around them ; mirth- 
ful, easily provoked to laughter, and they also shed many tears; 
rather inclined to repeat what they have heard and seen ; should 
guard against news carrying and making mountains out of mole 
hills. ]\Iany of this tribe are elevated and refined by intermar- 
riage with the higher intellectual tribes. They have great rev- 
erence for persons in high positions in life and are very respect- 
ful and obedient to their superiors and spiritual advisers, but 
they are not, as a rule, to those in the same position or calling 
as they are. They are superstitious and believe in signs, omens 
and fortune telling; love to relate old time stories. They care 
but little for society except when quite young; think more of 
money and receiving favors from others. When they have plenty 
to-eat and drink are quite contented ; seldom strive for high po- 
sitions, unless specially gifted and educated; jealous hearted 
and full of tricks and jokes, and are sly, cunning and witty. 

Described. 

Thej^ have a large muscular frame; strong hands and feet; 
large cheeks and chin ; shgrt, pug nose ; low, wrinkled forehead ; 
rather small eyes for the face. They are built for heavy work 
and endurance. They should marry in their own tribe for the 
greatest harmony, yet many marrj- in the tribes of Korah and 
Zerah. They dress in dull colors, dark and mixed browns. Their 
lucky stone is the jacinth, meaning love of superiors and labor, 
and guards them against evil and jealousies; Isaiah 54:11.

is given ^o talking, yet they have poor 
articulation. Some are not particular 
what they talk about or how they say it ; 
verv' expressive of what they think and 
see; should refrain from repeating 
things behind others' backs. When 
given to religion, they can express their 
feelings, and if they would, could have 
much influence over others and do much 
good, especially when educated. They 
are verv domestic and love their homes and families. 




HON. F. P. BLAIR. 



Intellectually. 

Few of this tribe seek a high, education ; are not given to 
deep thought ; are best contented with a domestic calling. They 
learn best from sound or hearing and seeing. They are fond 
of music and many can sing and play. Some have good mechan- 
ical talent and good form ; can make anything after a pattern. 
They are lovers of bright colors, and yet not very particular 
about style, as they are, as a rule, deficient in approbativeness 
and usually adopt the style that suits them best. They are noted 
for investigating everything around them. When thej^ take an 
interest they desire to know all about their own calling. When 
young they are lovers of music and dancing and social life and 



104 Bible Pkrenologi/ 

enjoy tbeir own class of society. They usually think that every 
one should labor for a living like they themselves do. 

Disposition. 

They are rather subtle at times, with a feeling of great re- 
sponsibility and that things are unjust, yet witty and mirthful 
when things are going right with them. They have a style of 
their own; their own peculiar Avay. They often laugh and shed 
tears alternately. Their friendship is not always lasting, as 
they often profess greater friendship than they mean, having 
too large social organs. They are rather unreliable, therefore 
unfortunate. Their home is much to them and they provide plen- 
tifully, whether rich or poor. As they grow to maturity they 
care but little for society. They are full of cunning, sly jokes 
and often make use of them against .their enemies. They are 
often given to passion and are easily provoked to laughter, and 
they shed many tears. 

Described. 

They have large, strong bodies, gray or brown eyes, dark 
reddish complexion, rather low, w^rinkled forehead, strong hands 
and feet, large cheeks and chin; short, strong nose and promi- 
nent mouth and teeth. This tribe is attracted in marriage to 
the tribe of Omar, and this elevates the intellect and gives them 
a strong: spiritual nature, giving them ability to teach, and they 
are then found in good, charitable works. When crossed with 
this tribe they also have remarkable retentive memories for faces 
and forms. They are most successful in domestic and mechanical 
occupations : jobs of short duration ; handling or sale of vegeta- 
bles, flowers and perishable goods. They are good cooks. Their 
public callings are rather limited. When well gifted and edu- 
cated they may fill such places with credit. They are attracted 
in marriage to the tribe of Jeush also. (This tribe does not 
elevate them.) Their sacred or lucky stone is the cameo, IsaiaK 
54 :11, meaning earthly knowledge and service. It banishes fear. 
They dress in dark and striped goods, often contrasted with a 
garment of red or green.

BRIDGET O'FLINN. 



Yoli belong to the tribe of Reuel, lo- 
cated on the head in the oigans of in- 
dividuality, smell and taste. Therefore, 
these people rely principally upon in- 
vestigation by smell and taste; are ex- 
perts in cookinp: and appreciate sweet 
flavored spices and foods. This gives 
them high qualities as first-class cooks 
and in handling provisions, vegetables 
and groceries. They are fortunate in 
these and domestic callings. This is 
their spiritual gift as a tribe. 

[ntellectually. 

They are slow to learn from books. They do not pursue one 
thing long enough to accomplish much as scholars when left to 
themselves ; can learn from practical experience, through their 
physical senses. Lovers of physical enjoyments rather than 
mental. They learn as they see and hear others do around them. 
This is good if they were always placed among good people. 
They should exercise iudgment as to good or bad, or interfering 
with things not pertaining to them. ]\Iuch, however, depends 
upon their early training, as they are influenced through life 
from their early training. Should guard against evil reports 
supposed to be against them, and against causing themselves and 
those around them much trouble by repeating what they see and 



306 Bihle Phrenology 

hear. They are often disliked for this. Having large social 
and domestic organs, are liable to take up more things to do than 
they can accomplish, causing a confusion of domestic affairs. 
Their sympathy and love is active and is often imposed upon 
by others, causing them grief because of their obeying too many 
calls and demands upon them. When they are given their lib- 
erty they do not always know their proper place or privileges. 
They should go and do things as others above them instruct 
them. It is the safest and most successful way for them. They 
are faithful in carrying out instructions given them from high 
authority, as they love influence and popularity among their 
class. They are inclined to sudden changes of mind and often 
become confused. When this tribe of people is crossed in mar- 
riage with the higher tribes, they are often able to occupy high 
positions, especially in religious callings and places of trust, 
when properly educated, through their desire to do good. 

Disposition. 

They are inclined to outbursts of anger or mirth, according 
to circumstances They act out their impulses without first con- 
sidering the results. In this they are often unfortunate, as those 
around them never know whether or not they can rely on them. 
They grieve much because others do not treat them with as much 
rspect as they treat others, not knoAving it is because of their 
own peculiar nature. It causes others to shun them. They 
should cultivate a more thoughtful nature and forgiving feel- 
ings. Their sorrow is soon forgotten, through their fault finding 
nature, as they, as a rule, do not respect commands from those 
closely connected with them and often disregard their wishes. 
This also is wrong, as it all comes back to them. 

Described. 

They are low in stature with broad or stooping shoulders, 
rather short waist, strong hands and feet : short, wide face ; low, 
wrinkled forehead ; prominent nose ; mouth strong and drooping

at the corners, with prominent lips and teeth and thick neck. 
They dress in mixed colors, with occasionally flashy red; most 
of the time more brown and dark shades; changeable in dress; 
also changeable in nature. They are attracted in marriage to 
the tribe of Eliphaz. This elevates the intellect. They are also 
attracted to the tribes of Zerah and Jensh. Their lucky stone 
is the quartz, meaning success in labor, patience and strife; 
Isaiah 54 :11. 



HOUSE or ISHMAEL. 

Genesis 17:20; 25:12, 17. 
(Meaning- their hand is against everyone, except their own people.) 



The house of IshmaeL located in the organ of inhabitiveness, 
gives these people an ability to desire earthly possessions; with 
two tribes located in the organs cf acquisitiveness, gives them 
the balance of power to accumulate. This gives also a reason 
for the Jews' ability in mercantile pursuits and in trade, and 
will be known by the mark of the beast or house, which is called 
the black horse, or a dark people. Rev. 6 :5-6 ; Rev. 13 :17. This 
mark is the intellect, and those that follow their occupation will 
have to comply to their rules, as they are God's merchants, and 
they have the mercantile business under control at the present 
time, in most places. The origin of the Jewish nation begins 
when Ishmael married an Egyptain wife, and in time his people 
grcAv in numbers and possessed a part of Ethiopia. They in- 
stituted circumcision and were driven out of Egypt, and their 
history is given in Josephus, book 5, chapter 2, and by Tacitus, 
the famous Roman historian. He makes a mistake, by making 
use of Moses' name, as a leader, for it was before Moses' day. 
These Jews had no written history until this historian wrote it 
down from their verbal history, and in his day it was easy for 
them to claim ]\Ioses as their leader, as they added to their 
history as much history from the Israelites as they could, for 
they were claiming to be the proper Jews. This is what bothers 
Josephus. as these Jews tak their name from Jupiter, and Judea 
from a mountain, Ida, that was famous in that day. So the 
Judean is a different Jew from the Israelite Jew. This solves 
the great mysteyy of the Jews. In Romans 2:28 Paul says he is 
not a Jew who is one outwardly (circumcision of the flesh). 



110 Bihle Flirenology 

These are the Ishmael Jews. But he is a Jew that is one in- 
wardly of the heart, meaning the spirit, and those that descended 
from Isaac. Titus 1 :10, 11. They will do anything for the 
sake of filthy lucre. This is a proof that they had this same 
gift of trade and were a different people from the ones of whom 
Paul claimed to be a representative. 

Ishmael's Blessing, Gen. 17:20: "As for Ishmael I have 
blessed him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him 
exceedingly: twelve princes (or heads of tribes) shall he beget* 
and I will make him a great nation." In Gen. 25:12-13 he is 
numbered by his towns and castles and twelve princes, as God 
had promised. They never were shepherds and tillers of the 
ground. They were always to live in cities, and have become a 
great nation, as they are rich. This does not entitle them to 
the name of Israelites. They are Judean Jews by right of name, 
but not from the tribe of Judean Jews. ^Mahomet was their 
Moses, although they began their earliest history proper before 
the historians began to write history. They went from Lydia 
and Phrygia in Asia Minor 1750 B. C, and 1550 B. C. united 
with the Medians, who are the tribes that descended from Abra- 
ham's wife Keturah. Gen. 25:1. Abraham gave them gifts 
and sent them eastward, no doubt that they in time were to 
unite with Ishmael, as they Avere the same class of people and 
naturally gravitated together, and were very rich. Abraham 
loved Ishmael while Sarah loved Isaac. In 1082 B. C. Zoroaster, 
a son of Paris, a man of ^Median descent, became famous as a 
philosopher, and from the :\Iedians later his followers revolted 
and called them^l Ives Persians. From Persia we trace them to 
Russia, also to the ]^Ioors and Turks, whose later history is well 
known. The great Russian problem of today is due to the 
wonderful increase of the lower tribes over the higher tribes, or 
royalties. The lower class have the same gift to trade in their 
lower grades, and their towns are crowded with artisans' and 
traders, to the neglect of the producers and consumers of an 
agricultural country. AVhat they need is to separate their 
servant tribes from the higher, the intellectual tribes, and make 



House of Ishmael 111 

laws controlling their offspring. The servant tribes are not 
expected to control themselves and do not know what to do, and 
the higher classes are to blame. 

The Jewish people are a grand and noble people, yet the 
world knows but little about them, only their mercantile display, 
except as we are able to read them by physiognomy and intui- 
tion, as their life is hidden from the Gentile world. It was 
God's plan; and they, like the other nations, are following their 
own bent of nature that was given them. As to the crucifixion 
of Christ they will not be held responsible, as they were not the 
Jews that were looking for Him. It would seem that God had 
prepared these Jews for that purpose, that no one would be held 
responsible in the end, and still the prophecies in regard to 
Christ's death were fulfilled. They knew He did not come tc? 
them, and could not realize that He was any dift'erent from any 
other man who might claim to be a Savior, as they were looking 
for an earthly King, and none of this class of J^ws accepted 
01 believed in Him, but hundreds of the Israelite Jews did 
believe, yet they were not in power and could not accept Him 
as a nation, for they were scattered among all the Gentile peo- 
ple (Micah 5:8) and had their lion as an emblem as to who they 
were. So Christ turned to the Gentiles where His people were 
to be found. Natural enough when understood.

capacity for following out a plan or thought, but if they see it 
is going to undo any of their fixed views they will not accept

change them. They can concentrate their minds upon one sub-

higher class, handling nothing but first class goods and are never 
satisfied with a small income or with positions that do not pay. 
They are lovers of home, poAver and wealth, and of personal 
and family appearance. They have large family love but not 
much patience with children. They have a strong belief in God 
as the ruler of all, yet they believe they have much to do with 
their own prosperity or misfortune. 

Disposition. 

They are quiet and thoughtful at mature age ; are easily 
educated. They Avill idolize their children in an offhand way, 
and overlook their faults, but are very severe when they do 
correct them. They are very entertaining when they wish to 
be and enjoy social entertainments of a high class. The educated 
among them are great travelers. They take many journeys and 
see much of the world and its treasures. 

Described. 

Tall and graceful in stature, polite and friendly with those 
of their own standing; firm, expressive countenance, dark hair 
and eyes, curly hair, prominent nose; watchful and careful of 
their conversation and actions. Those crossed with the tribe of 
Jetur may be of stronger build and more slow in motion, and 
not so neat in personal appearance. They are attracted in mar- 
riage to the tribe of Kedar, Adbeel and Jetur, which often modi- 
fies their firmness. They dress in cloth of a fine texture and 
plain. The stones of the tribes of Ishmael are opaque, as they 
are not a spiritual people and deal in material life. They have 
had the precious stones for thou^^ands of years and will use 
them as merchandise a good while longer. 

JosEPHUs' Description.— "This tribe is called the Pharisees, 
v,ho are esteemed most skillful in the law. They ascribe ail to

fate, providence, or to God, and yet allow that to act what is 
right, or the contrary, is principally in the power of most men ; 
although God does co-operate in every action. They believe 
that all souls are incorruptible ; but that the souls of good men 
only are removed into happy positions, but that the souls of 
bad men are subject to punishment. The Pharisees are friendly 
to one another and have regard for the public. They observe 
the traditions of their forefathers more closely than the ^losaic 
law." 

When this nation came into possession of the priesthood they 
knew nothing about it, and those most learned in their traditions 
had first to learn it before they could dispense with the services 
of the Israelite Jews. The Pharisees derived their name from 
Perushim in the Greek dialect, as the tribe of people claimed to 
be separated from the others, because of their strictness and 
zeal in their religious mysteries or traditions, and first came to 
notice in the reign of John Hyrcanus. 108 B. C. It took these 
. people a good many years to become educated and proficient in 
handling the priesthood. Chief Kabbi Dr. J. H. Duenner is of 
this tribe.

TRIBE or KlEDAR. 

(Dark but comely; solver of mysteries.) 




HON. S. H. FRIENDLY. 



You belong to the tribe of Kedar, 
located on the head in the organs of 
conscientiousness and approbativeness. 
They are governed by conscious and 
moral principles ; are inclined to be just 
in their dealings with those around 
them. They have a very high opinion 
of what is right, and are tormented by 
remorse if they go astray from w^hat 
they themselves feel to be right. They 
often lay out too narrow a path for 
themselves as well as others, being strict 
and very severe in their reproofs of 
wrong doing, but are ready to forgive those who show repent- 
ance. They always consult duty before expediency; yet tKey 
have strong propensities and passions, strong love nature and 
a desire to please, in which these good people are much imposed 
upon. They are not always endowed with as much firmness as 
they should have for self protection, therefore they may be 
led astray, especially while young; others making them believe 
a thing is right when it is wrong ; but they will seek to reform 
when conscious of such. 

Intellectually. 



When educated they often become famous, being able to 
solve many vexed questions of the day in which they live. They 
are active and restless ; seem to want to act with every thought. 
'Their music and poetry is of a very select original style ; mys-

terous and weird class. As writers they are wholly in reforms 
and religion, and their life work is of a verv benevolent nature; 
many are physicians and ministers. This is their calling, a<? 
others see to it that they are provided for. 

Disposition. 

Very sympathic and kind to the oppressed. They are in- 
clined to be self accusing and penitent. Although Jews, they 
are not always rich in money, but in good deeds, and they are 
not always appreciated. They have large approbation, therefore- 
are fond of praise and easily wounded by a harsh work of criti- 
cism. It would seem the mission of this tribe is to teach kind- 
ness and love one toward the other. They are true and faithful 
to their religion. They are polite and friendl}' and many that 
lack firmness are unfortunate in retaining what they accumulate. 
They are lovers of mysterious and spiritual sciences. Rev. 13 :13. 
This is their work in history. They are adepts in India, many 
of them, and great Sabbath observers. 

Described. 

Are medium in stature, graceful in their manner; promi- 
nent forehead, a little receding; rather dark but clear com- 
plexion, dark eyes, hair inclined to curl; plump in form; nice, 
€ven cut features; medium nose, slightly drooping. They are 
fond of fair complexioned children and often adopt them. For 
this reason it is not uncommon to find fair complexion and blue 
eyes among them. They are not very domestic and avoid marry- 
ing, many of them, through their conscientious natures, for 
fear they will not be able to fulfill tlieir part of married life. 
They are attracted in marriage to the tribes of Adbeel and 
Kedemah, therefore may take on a cast of their nature, which 
is an improvement to the offspring. They dress in a strange 
contrast of dark shades. ^Ir. Koresh belongs to this tribe— the 
founder of the Koeshan Society.

conquest over onr Dassions as a virtue. They neglect wedlock,

tribe: or adbeel. 

You belong to the tribe of Adbeel, 
located on the head in the organs of 
conscientiousness, approbativeness and 
inhabitiveness. These people are very 
careful all through life ; have great fear 
of being censured for having done 
wrong. They have a very high stand- 
ard of character and are very strict in 
regard to those with whom they associ- 
ate, and are much annoyed by those that 
try to do them harm. They are disposed 
to be strictly honest and virtuous and 
show a dislike for whatever they feel to be unjust. 




MISS HELEN GOULD. 



Intellectually. 

As merchants they believe in beauty and grandeur for suc- 
cess. They are very active and feel condemned if not making 
an effort to do their part in life. If they are educated th^y soon 
advance to the prominent positions in law and religion. They 
are teachers, rabbis, priests, physicians and historians, and hold 
many places of trust. Their ability to write on the miracles of 
God and nature is marvelous, and with Kedar they are adepts 
in these scientific wonders of the East, and delight in theosophi- 
cal subjects and mysteries. They are much given to Avriting for 
papers, magazines and on new subjects that are constantly x^qm- 
ing to light. 

Disposition. 

They are friendly to a fault with their own people and very 
entertaining. As they are a people of large experience, they do 



House of Ishmael 119 

much traveling, reading and thinking; very active when in 
business. They are happy and endeavor to guide others in the 
same path of faith. They are rather fanatical in their religion 
and progressive ; desire to go to the bottom of every subject, but 
(do not let others' opinions rule their minds or principles. If 
properly taught while young they usually become famous in 
some line of science if educated. They are not as able to accum- 
ulate wealth as some other tribes, as they are very benevolent to 
the afflicted and needy, Avith an open purse, yet this is not always 
true, as they often inherit more than they spend. They are 
much the same as the tribe of Kedar in regard to the marriage 
relations, and many do not marry at all. They believe in law 
and order in the home life and will make great effort to secure it. 

Described. 

They have high, prominent foreheads, medium complexion, 
dark eyes and even, refined features; rather tall, active and re- 
fined manner; earnest and thoughtful; expressive eyes. They 
are attracted in marriage to the tribes of Naphish and Kedar, 
and their features in some cases may be modified by these tribes. 
Annie Gould and Jacob Mayer belong to this tribe.

TRIBE or MIBSAM 

(A great counselor; to beautify.) 




LOUISE MANNHEIMER. 



Yoli belong to the tribe of Mibsam, 
located on the head phrenologically in 
the organs of sublimity, approbativeness 
and inhabitiveness. This tribe is full of 
new and grand thought, as sublimity 
rules the intellect. AYhen properly cul- 
tured they become wonders in their 
ways; proud of their personal ability 
and standing, and amass great wealth, 
through their superior ability to see 
:hat is most pleasing to the public : with 
great influence in society and public life 
with all classes. 



IXTELLECTUALLY. 

They are easily educated in any line of thought that illumin- 
ates the mind; with ability to grasp new opportunities. As 
writers they are very interesting, poetical, artistic and fluent, 
and adapted to library work in its different ways; often pro- 
moted to high positions. They are founders of institutions of 
learning. They are lovers of grandeur and display in business 
and domestic life. While they are liberal and display a freedom 
of thought, they are profound believers in their own institutions 
and religion. They do not believe in associating with the lower 
classes, and are proficient in all kinds of religious work. They 
are also adapted to scientific studies, taking comprehensive views 
of all subjects, and give a wide scope to their thoughts and in- 
vestigations, as they see the beauty of expansion in educational 
liberty. They are usually refined and accomplished, or at least 



House of Ishmael 121 

;:iusceptible to this life when educated. They make a grand dis- 
play in the mercantile pursuits; also dealers in diamonds and 
the precious stones. You will find them as bankers, yet they 
do not aspire to the responsibility that belongs to the money 
exchanger. 

Disposition. 

They are lovers of home and friends and the comforts they 
give ; very social and friendly with their own class. They are 
very easily wounded by coldness and indifference of those they 
love, as they are lovers of fame and popularity. They are very 
industrious in acquiring wealth and successful in dealing in 
jewelry, art and fancy goods of all sorts, as they are very 
fluent in conversation and very flattering. 

Described. 

Are medium in stature, rather fleshy and plump ; head broad 
and full in the region of sublimity ; smooth flesh and very sensi- 
tive to the touch ; broad forehead ; dark, curly hair ; dark eyes 
and clear complexion ; pleasant countenance and of pleasing ad- 
dress ; prominent, acquisitive nose. Their high grade of nature 
suffers much when compelled to live in the common grade of 
domestic life, yet they will try to make the best of it, with a 
hope of better times in the future. They are attracted in mar- 
riage to the tribes of Hadar and Nebajoth. Members of this 
tribe dress in the richest of material and are leaders in fashions 
and style. Many of these people are found in Paris, France. 
The following are of this tribe: I. Kaufman, Solomon Hirsch.

TRIBH or MISHMA. 



(God is beautiful.) 




PROFESSOR G. DEUTS3H. 



Toil belong to the tribe of Mishma. 
located on the head in the organs of 
sublimity, approbativeness and inhabi- 
iveness, and they are a twin tribe to 
^libsam. They are fairer and much 
more given to religioiis callings and a 
retired life, yet they appreciate and ad- 
mire in the highest degree the wild and 
romantic, the grand, the eternal of 
God's work; the glor}^ of the starry 
heavens, the omnipotence of the Deity, 
and the fulfillment of the prophecies. 



Intellectually. 

When educated, these people are adapted to all classes of 
educational departments, of science, religion and history. They 
are public speakers and teachers; found as astrologers; many 
mystic callings. They have a fine flow of language and when 
educated take comprehensive views of all subjects and give a 
wide scope to their thoughts and investigations, and are very 
ingenious with the arts. They are lovers of home and its com- 
forts and feel very sad when ill treated, as they refrain from 
contention as much as possible. They are lovers of fame and 
fortune and industrious in gaining these positions, yet not as 
aggressive as other tribes. They are proficient in dealing in 
gold and silver; bankers and the higher grades of financial cal- 
lings and trade : dealing in ornamental and musical instruments 
and books and newspapers, and manufacturing laces, ribbons 
and trimming of all grades, as they are very particular and 



House of Ishmael 123 

cleanly in all their work, also their personal appearance, from a 
conscientious feeling and love of beauty. 

Disposition. 

Their disposition is similar to that of i\nbsam's tribe; soci- 
able, pleasant and agreeable conversationalists; beautiful lan- 
guage when cultured. 

Described. 

They have modest and gracefully modeled features, fair com- 
plexion, often red or light hair, inclined to curl; blue eyes and 
a graceful appearance of medium or above the medium height; 
broad forehead; rather high tempered but soon over it; little 
inclined to Roman nose and Jewish combined. In an early day 
many of the Romans joined the Jewish faith; the blood still 
shows and crops out in the red hair, mostly in this tribe ; yet 
they do have dark hair. They are attracted in marriage to the 
tribes of Massa and Mibsam. The following are of this tribe ; 
Mrs. E. M. Exton, Adolph Wolf.

tribe: or tema. 



(A desert trader.) 



You belong to the tribe of Tema, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of ac- 
quisitiveness, cautiousness and inhabi- 
tiveness. Their desire for accumulation 
is excessive. Their interests all being 
concentrated in that direction, there- 
fore they are very successful. They are 
liable to place the possession of money 
above everything else; even their re- 
ligion may at times be forgotten. They 
are in early life close fisted and saving; 
drive hard bargains and never tire. 
They are endowed with power and in- 
dustry in accumulating money and take good care of Avhat 
they get. 

Intellectually. 




HERMAN W. HELLM'AN. 



They value education for the benefit it will bring them in 
financial ways; for this reason prize education highly, and it 
is a great help to them" otherwise. They have the ability to 
turn everything they handle to good account. They buy cheaply 
and sell for good prices and show great skill in throwing out 
inducements to bring their customers to buy. This tribe is one 
of the greatest in the financial world. Those crossed with the 
lower tribes are not as good in principle as the higher class. 
This tribe should be careful in marrying in the lower classes, as 
from the servant intellect is where these people get their bad 
name, not from the better and higher tribes. Later in life you 
will find these people as money loaners, bankers, and dealing in 



House of Ishmael 125 

the heavier, responsible classes of financial interests. They us- 
ually begin as clerks, and go step by step. Bad luck does not 
discourage them; only teaches a lesson, and they try again in 
some more successful way. ^Members of this tribe are not so 
close when they get on a solid foundation ; are generous and do 
much to advance their religion and education among their peo- 
ple, helping the poor and unfortunate in many ways. A good, 
reliable people you can depend on, in their class, and among 
their people, which is proper. 

Disposition. 

They are sociable and good entertainers out of business hours. 
Business first, yet they are clever in their way ; are mirthful and 
enjoy life in their leisure moments. They are full of business 
and push. They are interested in the wholesale and retail mer- 
chandise business and do not have time to fool away. They have 
strong natures and fully appreciate the domestic side of life and 
its kindred pleasures; good providers and generaus with those 
around them, but strong and forcible in temper. 

Described. 

Rather low in stature; strong build; head rather wide just 
above the ears : receding forehead : black hair, and usually dark 
complexion. There are but few that are poor in this tribe, as 
misfortunes are soon overcome. They rally more courage and 
try again. As writers they Avrite on finance, trade and manu- 
facturing interests, as they are proficient in manufacturing goods 
for the trade of any class or variety, yet they choose the heavier 
classes. The Sadducees sprang from this tribe, from one Sadok. 
a pupil of Antigonus, 200 years B. C. They are much modified 
at this age. by education, as all the tribes are. They are attract- 
ed in marriage to Dumah and Xebajoth. They should not marry 
below themselves, as members of this tribe often do, a.s it weak- 
ens their better qualities. The former Rothschilds belonged to 
this tribe, Herman AV. Hellman is a member.

TRIBE or DUMAH. 



(Meaning popular in wealth.) 



You belong to the tribe of Dumah, 
located on the head in the organs of ac- 
quisitiveness, cautiousness and inhabi- 
tiveness. This tribe is ruled through 
life by a desire to accumulate wealth. 
They are as a rule careful with their 
earnings. 

Intellectually. 

They are very powerful for good or 
for bad. When educated they are of 
great value to the financial and com- 
mercial world and are eager in the 
study of law, for which they are well adapted. They are cauti- 
ous and careful in their business and educational interests. 
They are a twin tribe to Tenia, and are also adapted for much 
the same callings, as clerks, cashiers and later bankers, and the 
heavier commercial interests; also in railroad interests, manu- 
facturing and shipping, and in the wholesale and retail mercan- 
tile interests of the world, on land and sea, and in farming, 
trading and financial interests. 




HENRY ACKERMAN. 



Described. 



Rather large and strong in build, medium in stature, medium 
in complexion; blue eyes or light — there are exceptions when 
crossed with the darker tribes ; broad through the temples ; rather 
short, firm nose, closed mouth. 



House of Ishmael 127 

Disposition. 

Silent and thoughtful, careful in conversation with strangers, 
full of tact and business plans. They enjoy the pleasures of 
home and domestic life and display of riches and comforts in 
the same. They provide plentifully for family and children; 
generous with the sick and afflicted and in a way are a strong 
element in the advancement of educational and religious inter- 
ests. As physicians or ministers are a power for good, and also 
in the literary world, as they love to deal in facts. They dress 
in good, modest apparel, and a sameness — do not enjoy sudden 
changes of fashions, so far as their personal appearance is con- 
cerned, and often laugh at the foolish fashions and more foolish 
people, yet it is a pleasure to those whose minds run that way. 
Everything is good in its place. The tribe of Tema is much the 
same in regard to dress as this tribe. They are attracted in 
marriage to the tribes of Tema and Kedar; should not marry 
helow their own tribe, for the benefit of the offspring, if they 
wish to improve their tribe. Henry Ackerman is of this tribe.

tribe: or massa. 

(Meaning tempted by gifts.) 




CARDINAL JACOBINI 



You belong to the tribe of Massa, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of com- 
bativeness, vitativeness, friendship and 
inhabitiveness. This is a strong com- 
bination for a variety of mind and busi- 
ness callings, and connected with a 
changeable nature, and a feeling as 
though something or some one was in- 
terfering with their advancement. This 
comes through the organs of vitative- 
ness. Tlie}^ struggle hard for existence, 
sometimes in a low business they feel 
ashamed of, and in early life often as 
servants, and take gifts in pay for service rendered, or may take 
bribe money in order to elevate themselves. Those crossed in 
this tribe are troubled with this feeling, but not so apparent. 

Intellectually. 

They are remarkably energetic, determined and courageous; 
ready to grapple with anything for gain and to fight against 
any odds. They can face danger or death, if need be, for self 
interests, yet they paSs through very "trying and difficult cir- 
cumstances that discourage them, when they feel blue, seeing 
others prospering before their eyes; yet they love hazardous 
enterprises; in fact are adapted to fill these places in the world 
at some time in life. When educated they are capable of filling 
most any position, as their strong vitality gives them power of 
intellect. When thej^ once become masters of their circum- 
stances they are very prosperous, yet they are rather quar' el- 
some in their business life. 



House of Ishmael 129 

Disposition. 

They are rather harsh in their conversation, speaking crab- 
bedly when they do not mean to be so, or from lack of thoughtful 
culture of the organ of combativeness. If they show benevolence 
it is for some personal interest or gain in so doing. While they 
are strong in friendship and have friends, they can soon be 
enemies if they choose. They like friends they can make use 
of in their own interests. Those that are highly educated can 
write with power and force of character ; use high sounding 
words and scientific expressions. As speakers "^hey are forcible 
and strong. If in the reform work they will be felt, yet they 
seldom enlist in reform interests. They are polite and courteous 
to strangers, unless they lose interest in them, as their com- 
bative nature is felt in a community in which they live. The;>r 
love to accumulate and are found as dealers in hides, in second 
hand stores, as brokers and like callings. They become money 
lenders in time, after a hard struggle, and are seen as retail 
merchants, especially when crossed with the higher tribes. 

Described. 

They are large in build, varied in stature and walk; very 
large, thick neck; larger through the head in the location of 
combativeness than through any portion of the top head; large 
cheeks and face ; rather thick lips, and large nose ; rather heavy 
"walk; not particular in personal appearance in their every day 
business life. This is against them. Do not like to take the 
trouble. Will make good appearance when they have nothing 
else to do. They dress in buowns and dark shades; use bla<?k 
only on rare occasions. The women of this class use strange 
contrasts when choosing colors ; seldom have them in harmony ; 
buy one at a time, and are rather unfortunate and unhappy 
unless very fortunately situated. They marry in the tribes of 
Hadar and Mishma, which is elevating. Grover Cleveland was^ 
of this tribe, crossed with Tema.

TRIBE or HAGAR. 

(A fugitive tribe, traveling, traders.) 




ALEXANDER EERKMAN. 



You belong to the tribe of Hadar, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of vita- 
tiveness and combativeness. This tribe 
takes its name from Ha gar. the mother 
of Ishmael. She was rather disagree- 
able and selfish (Gen. 16:4-5;i which 
seems to fellow this tribe, which is a 
twin tribe to Massa. They have many 
ups and downs in life where they are 
left to make their own way. and render 
life disagreeable for those around them, 
especially when they get into positions 
above others. The working classes will 
soon despise them, which gives them trouble, as it did Hagar. 

Intellectually. 

These people when educated are progressive and aspiring to 
high places in business, usually beginning humbly; for when 
they are helped to a start they do not appreciate it. They come 
down to the bottom and begin as a hire or servant, or in a small 
business which they themselves feel above. They then are de- 
termined to get a start and become successful, but their life 
seems full of change and uncertainty. They are brave and de- 
termined and have a great reverence for those above them in 
position and power. As merchants they lack order and neatness, 
which they are a long time learning, and they usually have a 
cheap class of goods mixed with the good, and yet they prosper 
where others could not, for they are active and hard workers, 
and feel that all the burdens from others are heaped upon them 



Hmise of Ishmael 131 

at times, which they can scarcely get along with. Many of this 
tribe become money lenders, but it does not seem to do them 
much good in regard to happiness. 

Described, 

Medium in stature ; large shoulders and neck ; broad through 
the base brain; large face and cheeks; prominent, fleshy nose; 
complexion dark, as a rule; rather straight, black hair; care- 
worn countenance; rather untidy in personal appearance; rather 
slow,, uncertain walk. 

Disposition. 

Stern and commanding voice, with a pleasant word thrown 
in to keep down any trouble they may have been the cause of. 
They have a great desire for peace and harmony in their home 
life, yet they are usually the aggressive parties. Later in life 
they become resigned and more happy. They marry in the tribes 
of Mibsam and Massa, which is elevating to the offspring. They 
dress in dark, mingled shades. There are some very prominent 
people belonging to this tribe. The present Sultan of Turkey 
belongs to this tribe, and also many of the Turks.

TRIBE or hedemah 



(A peddler.) 




BRADBURY OF SAN FRAN- 
CISCO. 



You belono: to the tribe of Kedemah, 
located on the head in the organs of 
philoprogenitiveness, conjugal love and 
friendship. This is a very loving and 
gentle tribe, yet they are restless and 
uneasy if not surrounded with friends 
and some one to do for. On this account 
are found as servants, by not having" 
firmness of character and being easily 
inlluenced by those around them. They 
do not aspire to positions of power or 
prominence unless crossed with a higher 
and stronger tribe. 



Intellectually. 

They are not as strong and aspiring as some of the other 
tribes, yet many are highly educated and well to do. They are 
modest and retiring, therefore more adapted to domestic callings ; 
very religious and faithful servants, both men and women. They 
enjoy a humble position and when in business they choose the 
second hand store and often junk shops and places that do not 
call for any great personal or business appearance. They often 
get rich in this business alone, and retire and take life easy, 
although many are unfortunate in not becoming educated in a 
business line. 

Disposition. 

They deem home and family of the greatest importance and 
are faithful mothers or husbands. They provide plentifully for 



House of Ishmael 133 

their homes and children — nothing too good for them ; kind and 
sympathic, good nurses and physicians when educated for these 
callings. 

Described. 

Strong physique, low in stature, short, thick in the back of 
the neck ; round, stooping shoulders ; rather slow in movements ; 
low forehead unless crossed Avith Kedar ; rather narrow through 
the head; large, drooping nose; protruding under lip, and large 
chin; modest, rather closed eyes; curiy hair. They are at- 
tracted in marriage to the tribes of Kedar and Xaphish, which 
are elevating to this tribe, especially that of Kedar. They dress 
in any style and color that any one as a friend advises them, as 
they are easily pleased. Anything that is given them they value 
highly, much above what they buy themselves. There are many 
good people in this tribe, and prosperous. Millionaire Bradbury 
is of this tribe, and is crossed with Tenia, making him strong in 
ability to accumulate, not being disturbed in his mind with any 
other interests, is able to concentrate on his own plans.

TRIBE OF NAPHISH 

(Meaning a contest in service.) 




You belong to the tribe of Xapliish, 
located on the head in the organs of 
conjugal love, friendship and inhabitive- 
ness. This ls a twin tribe to that of 
Kedemah and much like them in in- 
tollect. 

IXTELLECTUALLT. 

They are inclined to be submissive to 
eirciunstanees and to look up to those in 
positions above them. They have great 
tenacity of life and live to be very old, 
as they live in humble life as well as 
dependent on those around them for guidance and help. Those 
who are educated are in a way very successful in a small busi- 
ness of their own. of th^ lower kinds that do not require very 
much thought. Many are content as servants until of mature 
age. Life is quite a contest with them when starting for them- 
selves. As a rule they remain in the employment of others, and 
are very saving and careful of their wages, looking forward to 
a better life, and very peculiar in their style of business : deal 
in cheap jewelry and second hand clothing. 



Disposition. 

Pleasant and talkative, although their articulation is very 
poor, not speaking their words plainly as talking through the 
nose. They act very peculiar and strange when pleased or 
angry, not being able to express themselves plainly. They learn 
better by seeing and hearing than by study, having poor Ian- 



House of Islimael 135 

guage. although all these things do not hinder them from be- 
coming well to do. "When crossed with the higher classes they 
are very refined and modest, yet very few care for society; 
and society does not care for them as a rnle. 

Described. 

They have a heavy body and rather small head, receding fore- 
head and rather flat top head : large neck and shoulders stooped ; 
large hands and feet : large, heavy hooked nose, short upper lip, 
curly hair, pleasant and agreeable manner. They are attracted 
in marriase to the tribes of Adbeel and Kedemah.

TRIBi: or JETUR. 

(Meaning patience in service.) 




You belong to the tribe of Jetur, lo- 
cated on the head in the organs of philo- 
progenitiveness and animal love. They 
possess in a high degree a desire to love 
and be loved; very easily attracted by 
the opposite sex. Are very domestic 
and lovers of home and family. 

Intellectually. 

When educated they are quite in- 
telligent, especially when crossed with 
a higher tribal intellect: shrewd in ac- 
cumulating money in small goods, as 
pins and small ornaments, and laces and trinkets, second hand 
goods, etc. While they are kind and affectionate, they are very 
jealous hearted, and watchful over those they love or have 
dealings with. They are lovers gf pet dogs, cats and young 
animals and children. They are splendid to care for these things 
in the service for others. They are much given to eating. The 
women are happy with plenty around them to cook. They are 
utterly miserable if treated with coldness and indifference by 
those around them— even driven to insanity by mistreatment in 
their families; not being strong intellectually. 



Disposition. 

Kind and gentle, yet humble and look to others to return 
kind treatment, which is not always forthcoming, as they are 
not very attractive, having a coarse, guttural voice and poor 



House of Islimael 137 

articulation. Those crossed with the tribe of Nebajoth are very 
religious and are often found as successful teachers in Sabbath 
schools and in places of trust. They are much more dignified in 
personal appearance and in their home life. 

Described. 

Low or medium in stature; head bowed to the front; round 
shoulders; very informal in shape of body; rather angling or 
awkward appearance; receding forehead, and wrinkled; large, 
prominent, drooping nose ; short upper lip ; protruding lower 
lip ; short neck ; small ears ; eyes partly closed -. bashful, humble 
look; always friendly. They are attracted in marriage to any 
of the higher tribes. You will find them in the most refined fam- 
ilies. These children will crop out if it is in the blood, and while 
young these lower classes are almost as good looking as any. It 
is age that develops them in their prominent features. They 
are not easily educated. That is one thing that keeps them down 
as a tribe. These lower tribes multiply faster than the better 
classes. This makes them very numerous all through the land, 
members of this class are the ones that people know the best in 
the Gentile world. 

We have given the description of the most perfect tribes as 
representing their nature and disposition in their respective 
tribes, while there are many that are intercrossed and their na- 
ture modified very much in this way: and by knowing the proper 
tribe the reader can judge for himself where he belongs in this 
house, and to what tribe, and by closely reading the tribes and 
by comparisons, can tell what one he is crossed with, also his 
friends and relations. 

In conclusion, will say that the women in all the tribes are 
as intellectual and as capable in business and educational work 
as the men, when given the same opportunities. You will find 
as many men adapted to domestic work as women. Both should 
be given the same opportunities, as for instance a mother that 
iias a fine intellect with a desire to make it useful to herself and 



138 Bible Phrenology 

others, then to confine her to a narrow, useless, idle like or com- 
pel her to do the kind of service she is least adapted tor — this 
will dwarf her mind by misuse and irritate her in confined paths. 
What will be the influence on the unborn manhood ? It always 
tends to weaken the offspring, and to enervate them. Educate 
the mothers. Give them freedom, then they can give strength 
to the offspring and knowledge and power to manhood. 



HOUSE or MANASSEH 

(Meaning- forgetful, or forgotten.) 
Genesis 49-19-20; Joshua 17:3; Isaiah 4:1. 



This nation of people have much to commend them to notice. 
Gen. 48 :19-20. They were to become a nation. Joshna 17 :2. You 
will find they were given a portion of land. Twelve tribes makes 
a nation, also Zelophehad's daughters were given a portion, 
which makes a half tribe, as there were but six daughters. These 
are the people spoken of in Joseph's blessing, Gen. 49:22-26; a 
fruitful bough whose branches run over the wall, and the archers 
have sorely grieved him. Arcliers in this place means women, 
and he was to have the utmost bounds of the hills. Joshua 17 : 
14-17. He is contending for the hill and a larger potion than the 
other tribes because of his great number of people. There are 
many of the tribe of Joseph found in this house, as wdl as all 
the other tribes represented, but in a much less degree. By 
practical work and close observation, we have learned that among 
the Mormon people there exists a strange abnormal development 
of the social and domestic group of organs, far exceeding any 
of the seven degrees as given by Fowler and Wells. We con- 
sider this brought about by inherited conditions of domestic re- 
lations, and not by the proper laws of nature. We can by per- 
sistent practice cultivate, enlarge and strengthen any member 
of our body, where there is one to begin with, as the pugilist 
strengthens his muscles, but it is not right to strengthen one part 
of our body to the neglect of the intellectual, as the intellectual 
is of the greatest importance. i 

These people are of various habits and styles, called the 
speckled and bay horses (Zechariah 6:3), meaning a mixed na- 
tion. One thing they will as a rule predominate in, that is the 



140 Bible Fhreuology 

meaning of the word Manasseh, forgetful, or in plainer words: 
They are free from worrying or fretting about worldly matters, 
and their domestic relations. In this they will be noticeable, 
and different from the other nations, and the woman question 
has sorely grieved them, not in their own nation, but it has been 
interfered with by other nations, as their disregard for their 
domestic relations have brought about polygamy and they are 
found among the Mormons and the AYelch people. This nation 
had the priesthood, beginning with Sanballat, Xehemiah 13 :28, 
and history continued in Josephus. Sanballat builded ^la- 
nasseh a temple on ]\Iount Gerizim, because he had married San- 
ballat 's daughter and all that did not separate themselves from 
strange wives gathered around Manasseh, and they became a 
nation. Sanballat was an Edomite. This accounts for the mix- 
ture of the Romans with the AVelch people, as many of them 
were followers of Manasseh. The people who are educated in 
this house are wonderful scholars, for they give themselves up 
entirely to their studies: seem entirely forgetful of conditions 
around them, and give themselves no particular trouble and do 
just as they desire, for they never think of doing any one any 
harm, and often wonder where some people find so much to 
trouble themselves about. 

The brain of these people, many of them, seems to be all in 
the top head, giving a swollen look from above the ears. There 
are others w^ho are very high in the top head, with small eyes. 
These two types seem to be strangely inspired : it seems that the 
heavens are open to their view", and they have power to penetrate 
the future. AVhether this is an over sensitive mind, or whether 
they have a gift to do this, we will not say. Our mind is not 
able to follow them. The other classes are very strangely com- 
posed. They are a happy, prosperous people. You will find 
good writers, poets, musicians and inventors. Some are good 
mechanics and workers. There are many clairvoyants, mediums 
and spiritualists among them. They believe in omens, dreams 
and presentiments, and evil spirits and mysterious doings, as 
charms and witchcraft. There are plenty of people who believe 



House of Manasseh 141 

in these things, but do not let them bother them further or rule 
their action so much as these people do. This house being lo- 
cated in the organ of self esteem gives them a feeling of pride 
in their people. Joseph was largely from that organ. This 
house also sprang from the same element. These people live in 
the ideal very much. The class that live in the influence of the 
domestic organs are very plentiful in this house, as they rep- 
resent principally the half tribe of Manasseh, Zelophehad, with 
his five daughters, Joshua 17 :3. This is the class of women that 
are able to look to one husband, having begun lile in that man- 
ner. People that have gathered w^ith them are principally un- 
fortunate in some way and want a change, thinking to improve 
their lot. They have fulfilled the scripture in Isaiah, to the 
first verse in the fourth chapter, but not any further. ''The 
show of their countenances do witness against them" by their 
strange marriages. From this house is where Brigham Young 
got his perverted views in regard to marriage. We find but few 
women who ever lived in polygamy but lived a miserable life, 
the exception being the Manasseh women. As one expressed itj 
"We are no happer than men would be with one wife to rule 
over them," and it was not the husband that did the ruling; it 
was the oldest wife, and when she could not manage us, the 
husband was called to help her. The plural wives do not have 
any authority over their own children ; all treated as servants, 
or as they see fit, where they live in the same house. It is much 
better when the wives have separate houses. We have nothing 
to say against these people, as it has been brought upon them 
in days when there was no education, and we hope they will be 
understood. This house coming from the organs of self esteem, 
it is hard to approach them, they being satisfied they are right 
in their view. Robert Ingersoll came of this house, and, well 
balanced between the domestic and the intellectual, became pow- 
erful in his day, trying to uproot God's plans that he knew so 
little about. His great mistake was, he was material minded, 
and was not able to understand God's spiritual laws.

TRIBE or GILEAD. 

(A witness.) 



You belong to the tribe of Gilead, 
located in the organs of conjugal love, 
inhabitiveness, approbation, continuity 
and self esteem, with firmness, benevo- 
lence and human nature well developed, 
with conjugal love in the lead, and the 
main object in view; therefore a person 
)f this tribe will have a feeling that the 
love and the home life are the most 
sacred of all laws, with great love of a 
solid home basis. Approbation and con- 
tinuity will keep a close wat-ch that all 
are properly clothed and continually 

cared for. Firmness gives them power in benevolence. Their 

love as a husband or wife is strono;. 




ROBERT G. INGERSOLL. 



Intellectually. 



They have great power -for good or otherwise, as their mind 
directs, good, retentive memories; having firmness and self 
esteem well rounded together, they are more powerful than any 
other tribe. Their word seems law, as it comes with force and 
well directed aim. The opposite sex, to which they belong, arp 
easily influenced by them. Their faults they will be ever ready 
to conceal or overlook, and they will require the same exclusive 
attachment in their chosen one. They will enjoy the marriage 
relation very highly. They should be very careful in this re- 
destiny in life, and make them very miserable. Being well 



House of Manasseh 143 

xnated, they will find their highest happiness in the society of 
spect, as disappointments are likely to affect very seriously their 
the one they have chosen, all of whose virtues and attractions 
they will fully appreciate. They will tolerate almost anything 
•except infidelity in the marriage relation. 

Disposition. 

This is so generally distributed with all their nature, so far 
as our observation goes, that we are unable to define it, but 
they are genie and kind, helpful to those around them, believe 
in acts of kindness toward one another, and are very careful, 
cordial and faithful to those under their care in any way, yet 
they are not likely to go far from home to hunt up some one 
just to bestow their kindness upon. They are liable to rely too 
much upon memory of what they have heard, and no not under- 
stand by their spiritual minds, therefore do not take time to 
properly study out the unseen side of life. 

Described. 

Strong physically and mentally; round top head; broad be- 
tween the eyes, as though the nose were flattened somewhat, 
with large, prominent nostrils, with the nose rather short and 
strong (not the pug nose), called the courage nose. They have 
well developed lips and mouth ; short, thick neck in men ; eyes 
strong and penetrating. "When educated they are fine speakers 
and writers on the subjects through which their tribe line is 
located. Robert Insersoll belonged to this tribe. 



141 Bible Phrenology 



tribe: or machir. 



This is a twin tribe to Gilead, and thev are in most respects 
described the same. These two tribes might rightly be said by 
their cast of tribe, to represent the anti-polygamous element in 
the Mormon church. Yet when these tribes become perverted in 
their nature and lose the principles that represent the true 
manhood and womanhood of a pure life, they are a strong ele- 
ment to fill up the other crowd. 



House of Manassch 145 



TRIBE or HEPHER. 

(My delight in wisdom.) 



You belong to the tribe of Hepher, located on the head in 
the organs of causality, suavity, imitation and spirituality, with 
firmness and self esteem well rounded together. They are noted 
for their planning capacity, intuitive perception of the rela- 
tions of cause and effect, with great reasoning powers and quick 
comprehension. They are naturally thinkers and philosophers, 
and if not highly educated are in danger of becoming imprac- 
ticable theorists and dreamers. With suavity, the manner of 
agreeableness. they are remarkably bland, winning and persu- 
asive, and generally please everybody. They have a real fas- 
cinating way of saying and doing even disagreeable things, 
which makes everything they say and do acceptable. With 
imitation large, when educate^l. they are simply wonders in 
mimicking, are fine actors; have a taste and talent for acting and 
representing life to the letter. As it is natural for them to use 
many gestures when speaking they can impart great expression 
to their countenances: Avith mirthfnlness large, they can relate 
anecdotes to the very life, and keep a company in roars of 
laughter. Now, when we add the organs of spirituality to this 
combination, it is beyond our old style of phrenology to ex- 
press the terms by whieh to describe this tribe, for they soar 
beyond, as some do that belong in the base brains of this house. 
However, they have a large measure of faith; an internal con- 
sciousness of right, duty, truth, falsehood, and what is best ; love 
to mediate on spiritual subjects— the immortality of the soul, the 
future life, the existence and perfection of God, the destiny of 
man; enjoy spiritual communion with friends or the blending 
of soul with soul, and with veneration large, find aesthetic 
happiness in fervent adoration of the Deity, and one may be a 



146 Bible Phrenology 

natural clairvoyant; be forewarned in visions or dreams, per- 
ceive the highest truths by intuition and possess prophetic gifts. 

Intellectually. 

These people are highly 2'ifted for work calling for ad- 
vanced new thoughts, and when properly handled with firmness 
and education they are ready for advanced work of the new 
dispensation of the Twentieth century, calling for a newer and 
better spiritual liberty. They are proficient as ministers of 
almost any line of thought, and writers and poets of an excellent 
quality. Should they be musical, they could also sing like a 
nightingale, or mimic birds of all kinds. The domestic qualities 
are rather deficient, as they live in the ideals. 

Described. 

Representing the mental temnerament to a hierh degree, they 
are well proportioned in physical structure, with a high degree 
of refinement, active and quick : very modest : even eye ; well 
proportioned features, with a large development of the top 
head that gives a widening effect: hair fine and silky— may 
incline to curl, but as a rule very thin. Their disposition has 
been described in the beginning, yet they are of a nervous, sen- 
sitive temperament, requiring a quiet and peaceful life, with 
friends to hold them up. As a rule members of this tribe are 
short lived, beins vshining stars for those that disregard the 
beauties and purity of the soul and spirit. This tribp has never 
been able to come to its full power of mind and spirit, and the 
purity of the soul and spirit its members possess, beinsr attrac- 
tive and beautiful and accomplished naturally. The girls while 
young are early burdened with families, and they do not have 
strength to endure the burden, or are taken captive by the baser 
minds of men. They are attracted in marriage to the tribp of 
^lachir. which is a great blessing, also to Helek. their twin tribe. 
Many of this tribe are tound among the Germans and English. 
Prof. Albert E. ]\Iichelson. who holds the new physical sciense 
chair at Chicago, is of this tribe. AVlien they can rise they go 
up high. 



House of i\Ianasseli 147 



TRIBE or SHECHEM. 



This is a twin tribe to Hepher, and is as well described as 
need be, yet they are as a rule darker, stronger and more pow- 
ei ful in their literary callings, and are attracted in marriage to 
ihe twin tribe of Gilead. Rev. James M. Buckley, D. D., editor 
r.f the Christian Advocate, is of this tribe.

TRIBE or HELEn. 

(A companion.) .^m'"^;"^-^^ '' 



You belong to the tribe of Helek, located on the head in the 
organs of comparison, human nature, veneration and benevo- 
lence. This composes a very humorous and clever people. 

Intellectually. 

They possess remarkable power of analysis -. ability to reason 
from analogy and to discover new truths by induction: can 
clearly trace out relations between the known and the unknown, 
which escape common people. With eventuality and causality 
well developed, they manifest great capacity for making dis- 
coveries. Human nature large, a passion for analytical inves- 
tigation, most useful to the phrenologists and chemists, gives 
them ability as intuitive diseerners of character, forming correct 
estimates of the disposition and moral status of those they meet 
at a single glance — especially if they are of the opposite sex. 
They can trust their fiist iinpressions of character. This people 
are proficient as scientific character readers from any of the 
sciences, as phrenologists, palmists, astrologists and others; also 
as physicians, healers of the different classes, and in any calling 
that calls for brains and power of knowledge; writers and law- 
yers, judges, political callings, managers of business and deal- 
ing with the people in any calling. Many of these people are 
found among the Germans and English. They are very kind 
hearted, think much of the social purity of their home life, are 
fast friends and good comrades as wives or husbands, as coming 
from their great reasoning power of what is the proper life, and 
they stay in their own fields of reasoning, not influenced by 
others. 



House of Mandssek 14^ 

Described. 

A very large and prominent forehead; fine hair, medium 
complexion ; mild but even or full dark blue or brown eyes 5 
prominent or medium sized nose ; even teeth ; closed mouth. They 
marry in their twin tribe, Asriel, also Milcah, a sister tribe. 
J. Elfreth AVatkins belongs to this tribe. He is curator of 
technology, United States National Museum. 

The tribe of Asriel, being a twin tribe to Helek, will need 
no further explaining, they being so near alike.

TRIBE or BASHAN. 

(Sandy.) 



You belong to the tribe of Bashan. locat-ed on the head in 
the organs of acquisitiveness, sublimity, destructiveness and 
hope. 

Intellectually. 

This makes a very strong intellect. When educated they 
are a power that, represents force of character, well planned. 
When they are interested in anytliing. high or lovr, they go to 
the bottom or the top — no half way stopping. They can soar 
on the wings of sublimity: in language they are both beautiful 
and forcible; also they use language that would much better 
not be repeated, when angry. When at work \he\ labor with 
haste, and when anything is in their way will throw it a dist- 
ance from them, for they do not like to work, and, according to 
their tribe meaning, sandy, they are not very smooth natured, 
except when the}' have an object in view that requires them to 
display beautiful, flattering words : then one would think they 
were most perfect for the time being. They have a great desire 
for wealth and are very active in business and intellectual work. 

■ Described. 

They are well proportioned, with strong, expressive face; 
nose strong with large nostrils : good breathing capacity : a 
strained look out of the prominent eyes: usually sandy com- 
plexion: curly hair: large ears: well formed brain: never at 
rest: always in a hurry. They marry in the tribe of Noah, 
irieaning rest, a sister tribe, and as a rule believe in polygamy, 
if they do not always practice it. Brigham H. Roberts belongs 
to this tribe.

TRIBE or ADIEZBR. 

(Father of levity.) 



You belong to the tribe of Abiezer, located on the head in 
the organs of mirthfiilness, ideality, imitation, self esteem and 
firmness. AYhile this seems like a strange people, yet we must 
have our amusements. 

IXTELLECTUALLY. 

AYhen educated they are very entertaining and mirthful ; 
no getting blue where they are. They always see the funny 
side of life; ready to grasp the ridiculous at once and live in 
this element. If you tried to confine or stop them they would 
still go on with their jokes. Here is where you get your clowns 
and comedians: witty, .jovial, great lovers of jokes. They are 
in danger of becoming too comical and clownish, descending to 
lovv' coarse jests and making fun on solemn or unsuitable occa- 
sions. They always do their share in creating laughter in this 
old. cold world, with their good humor, and by their mirthful 
sallies. This tribe should cultivate their ideality to give them 
delicacy and refinement and to learn when their jokes are in 
good taste. They are the life of the theatres and places of 
amusement. AVith the proper culture they fill a very useful 
place. AYork or play is alike easy for them. 

Described. 

They have a head that is almost round : large, mirthful eyes ; 
strong, short nose ; short upper lip ; upper teeth prominent : 
short, fat chin : a well rounded body : medium height or low in 
stature; medium complexion. These people display the Irish 
wit. and the Irish are often found amons: them. These two 



152 Bible Phrenology 

tribes disjylay the Roman blood more than any others, by being 
located in the front head. This tribe is attracted in marriage 
to the tribe of Shemida, the members of which have a rather 
sullen and combative nature. This equalizes the nature in the 
offspring, otherwise they are similar to this tribe of Abiezer in 
ability and will not need description. Mrs. Thomas ^Vhiffen, 
of the Miller Company, a very successful actress, is of this tribe. 

In all the houses and tribes we are held together in a wheel 
by the power of love, or the pow^er of attraction in marriage, by 
marrying our opposites in nature. This has been a hard school 
for some, yet it has been a great brain developer, and where 
marriages have been governed through natural love the off- 
spring have made a wonderful advance in intellectual power. 

AYhom God hath joined together let no one put asunder. It 
is God's law; attraction of love that keeps the people from be- 
ing all destroyed. The human mind is incapable of making one 
organ of the body, no matter how small. They can reproduiie 
their kind, but that is accomplished through God's fixed laws, 
and is not ruled by the mind of man, as much as some would 
like it to be. But they w^ould only degenerate themselves. 

As the tribes all become known to each other they will be 
attracted to their own tribes, and harmony and peace will be 
restored throughout all the world.

TRIBE lOr ZELOPHEHAD. 

(A sharp wound; a divider.) 




You belong to the tribe of Zelophe- 
had, located in tlie head in the organs 
representing the division of the brain, 
beginning with amativeness. love of the 
opposite sex, and great power over them, 
without regard to individuals, loving one 
as well as another. Second, parental 
love; a desire and ability to provide for 
family and children. Third, inhabitive- 
ness, to provide homes for and protec- 
tion of homes. Fourth, self esteem, con- 
fidence in themselves and their work; 
watchful and good rulers. Sixth, 
firmness. They make their own laws. Seventh, veneration, wor- 
ship ; that is very much within their own power of changing to 
suit the occasion. Eighth, human nature. A desire and ability 
in comparison and for classifying them. Eventuality and indi- 
viduality; makers of history and historical records. These are 
the qualities of intellect belonging to Brigham Young. 



dmf^^^^^^ 



Intellectually. 

This tribe is far reaching and strong; of great influence, 
having great balance of brains, and mental strength. When 
educated and properly started, they usually have the right of 
way and carry out their plans no matter how hazardous. They 
never .(ihange a plan for any one; cut and shave to the line; 
when enlisted in a good cause would be a power, as they accom- 
plish what they plan to do. If their brains are heavy, their 
deeds are heavy; if light, they may not be as noticeable. 



154 Bible Phrenology 

Described. 

Large, strong build, but well proportioned; large head, very 
short neck; a slight depression dividing the head in halves, as 
it were, yet sacrely noticeable to one not looking for it; eyes 
large but deep set in the head, partly closed unless greatly in- 
terested. They have large organs of the back base brain; un- 
usually large ; rather coarse, bushy hair when long. They marry 
in any tribe or nation. Their families are composed mostly 
of girls, and they enjoy having large families of relations 
around them if they are in any way situated so they can. 
Brigham Young was of this tribe. This tribe is not all in Utah. 
You will find them as saloon keepers and managers of question- 
able resorts and amusement halls. They are a many sided people 
and polished in a manner that is pleasmg to the eye, and to the 
general public. When religious they are felt throughout the 
country, as they have generous hearts, ready to help the sick or 
afliicted. As physicians they are a grand success; also as rail- 
road managers, sea captains and in places that require nerve 
and push. The gristed and bay tribes are not all in Utah; too 
narrow for them. They are w^alking to and fro tnroughout the 
w^hole earth; preparing for that great day. Old time is now 
approaching the borders of the fourth seal, Rev. 6 :7, represeni- 
ed by the grided or pale horse; and the fifth seal, the gathering 
together of the Godly people. These things will soon be accom- 
plished. In the sixth seal we may look for a great earthquake, 
Zech. 11. The seventh seal will be the closing up of the Gentile 
rule of wickedness. The harvest is already ripe. Everything 
will be accomplished with a dispatch that is little dreamed of 
now.

TRIBE or MILCAH 

(A council of women.) 



This tribe is compose'1 f women, and we have no particular 
description to classify them by, or to tell who belongs to it. 
They seem part Indian. The general description is that of a 
perverted or man woman, having coarse features, large in build 
and a mannish appearance. They more often live a secluded 
life, but are strong and powerful when educated; are inclined to 
manual labor and occupations, either from choice or forced con- 
ditions. They are uncertain in build, and of various builds and 
forms, but few show grace and refinement, seeming to be a con- 
dition more than a tribe, as they are sullen and uncommunica- 
tive. There are numbers of men that belong with them that seem 
of the same class. They must be the people that Hosea 5 :7, and 
Ebra 9 :7 speak about : ' ' Israel hath dealt treacherously against 
the Lord, for they have begotten strange children." These 
people come from the half tribe of Manasseh and are a twin 
1 1'ibe of Zelophehad. 



DEGREES or THE DRAIN. 



Size of brain has much to do with the people of the same 
ti'ibe : as they are not all endowed with the same sized brain. 
Some have degenerated, while others have improved their talents. 
This should always be taken in consideration, when entering 
business, to know whether your brain is adapted to a general 
business, where you can command others by power of intellect, 
or whether others can command you. from lack of brain power. 
Those with small, well formed heads may be highly gifted ni 
seme classic line, capable of succeeding as well in their special 
calling as thase whith larger brains, that can take heavier re- 
sponsibilities. 

A brain that measures 24 inches to 23i ^ is classed very large, 
degree Xo. 7: 2311. to 23. No. 6, large; 2214 to 22, No. 5. full; 
21i/o to 21, Xo. 4. average; 2011 to 20. Xo. 3, moderate: 19, Xo. 
2. smaU. 

There is one-half inch allowed between the man's and the 
woman's brain, representing the same degree. This is not always 
the case, but, on an average, it is true. AVhere the man repre- 
sents the feminine qualities and the woman the masculine, it 
would not be allowable, also the organic qualities are to be con- 
sidered, and where the top head is very high there can be one- 
half or one-third added to the measure around the head, to give 
proper degree. These measures are general and only represent 
one measure around the head, just above the ears in the largest 
place. 

Size of Braix. 

Seven. Very Large. — If your organic quality is good, which 
is known by a very thin skin and the blood vessels are plainly 
St en and you are sufficiently active (as a lazy pei*son never 12- 



158 Bible Phrenology 

complishes anythinc: of value), and with eultiire; which means, 
manners, politeness in your home and business, toward wife, hus- 
band and children — it takes all this to make a noble person: as 
rude a<?tions in- these places will rniri any one's success and hap- 
piness— brain, money and education alone will not save them: 
karn to keep a well cultured poise. This is power, and in this 
degree of brains you should manifest extraordinary mental 
power, and are capable of takino: a place in the first ranks, amon^r 
the intellectual giants of the age in w^hich you live. Having 
such a mind, backed by a good education, you can then overcome 
all obstacles, and achieve greatness in spite of all difficulties. 
You may not have your full powers called out, but they are there 
and only need improvement and opportunity. 

Six. Large. — Yours is a mind of great reach and power. 
You caii, if you follow the culture mentioned in seven, make 
yourself widely felt in society. You are capable of managing 
extensive enterprises, taking broad views of things, and drawing 
c( rrect conclusions from ascertained facts. If you are a scholar, 
you should be widely known and admired in the sphere of letters, 
and exert great influence wherever the supremacy of mind is 
acknowledged. Much, however, depends upon the impressions 
made upon your mind and character while young, if evil 
or good. Your power may be a blessing or it may be a curse to 
yourself and others in the world, according to the manner in 
which you use it, after mature age, for it all then depends upon 
yourself -as you have the power to do good if you choose. 

Five. Full.— "With the proper culture as stated in seven, you 
are capable of accomplishing much, and attaining a high position 
in the direction of the leading taculties, when educated, and 
manifesting talent of a high order, but have not the commanding 
power which can bind everything to its will. You should choose 
a profession, business or trade Avhere you can be the entire con- 
trolling power. For your greatest success you should not go into 
partnership. 

Four. Average. — With activity largely developed, and good 
bodily health, backed by education and culture, you are capable 



Degrees of the Brain 159 

of manifesting good talent, and of succeeding well in business 
for which yoii are specially fitted, or in which you have had 
practical experience. Out of this sphere your abilities would 
seem commonplace and your succecs small. You are quick of 
perception and can learn by seeing things done, as in a trade 
<?v domestic work. 

Three. ^Moderate.— You have sutScient brains, if you have 
good organic quality, as mentioned in seven, and activity to gain 
eriucation or practical experience in domestic callings of some 
kind. It will be best for such to seek a calling that is of a se- 
cluded nature, where you can be alone when at work. Such 
persons can become quite successful and maintain themselves, 
yet do best when working under the direction of another person, 
better endowed than themselves. Strive to improve your intel- 
lect by means of reading, study, and the conversation of intelli- 
gent persons. This remark \\\\\ apply to all degrees of intellect. 

Two. Small. — If this measure is taken at mature age, you 
are weak in mind and need the guidance of others This is the 
average measure of a child from two to six years old. 

Any one locating himself in his tribe will notice that tne 
outside organ through which the tribe line is located will always 
be the: largest, as in the tribe of Reuben, for example, the organ 
cf inhabitiveness and friendship will be the largest and the 
whole brain will be the heaviest and deepest through to the op- 
posite side, as Reuben should be good in the perceptive faculties ; 
Judah large in 1he -organs of firmness and the heaviest part of 
the brain above the ears. Joseph will have a high organ of self 
esteem and long chin — each tribe representing four wheels, there 
being forty-eight spokes to the four wheels, also forty-eight or- 
gans of the head. AYhen we marry in another house than our 
own, a divorce is usually the result, there being no harmony. 
This strong pressure against the fixed laws, or against the op- 
p( site intellect, will in time cause ill health in one or the other, 
or even both. Should it happen that the opposite tribes from 
another house should be harmoniou.s in their married relations, 
then the inharmony may make its appearance in the offspring, 



160 Bible Phrenology 

a;^, for instance, we know a circumstance where a colored woman 
married a white man. Her offspring were both white and black. 
The children fought and quarreled, the father. left as a result, 
and the woman then married an Indian. She then added another 
color to her family. This was too much for the white and blacv 
children, so they left, and gravitated back to their own colors. 
Later on another bxack child came. This was another insult to 
the reds, so the Indian father and his children left, and the 
v'oraan and her black babv were alonp when we received her 
history. This i.s a srood comparison of the result of some of the 
marriages of the white tribes. It is asrainst the laws of natme. 
How different the families and how harmonious the children 
when the parents are all one blood; they enjoy the same amuse- 
ments. The children, thoush. may represent the different tribes, 
as Jacob was the father of the twelve tribes; they represent 
a family tie. If the parents represent the srood Irish blood their 
offspring will be the same. If the parentis are all English bloorl, 
the same result — the fixed law i«? in the blood and can and doe.s 
sfnarate and srravitate back to the pure fountain head When 
we marr>^ through pure love attraction we are not liable to go 
astray, for God is love. Money, position and power are wh;<t 
have caused the perverting of the human race, have degenerated 
them in many cases. 

Any one at mature age can. by reading and comparing tribes, 
tell to which he or she belongs. Yet any one desiring to have the 
blanks in this book filled out can be accommodated by calling 
personally or send name, nationality as near as possible, also the 
measurement around the head in the largest place just above the 
ears, day of month and year born, a side and front view picture, 
hair combed plain down to the head, for further instructions.

QUESTIONS ASHED. 



^'liat will be the benefit derived from knowing the tribes? 
I^' you wish to marry you would look for a wife or husband 
among your own tribe, or one that was very congenial to your 
own tribe, and be able to become fully acquainted with his or 
her nature and disposition before marriage, knowing what would 
please or displease the object of your choice, forewarned is fore- 
armed : also that your offspring would be perfect and a pleasure 
to their parents and a help instead of a sorrow. The parents 
will then at once know their own children's bent of mind and 
will be educated for their very best powers and gifts. With this 
knowledge we will be able to improve the human race in the same 
manner that the animals are improved upon by choosing the best 
blood, and with a knowledge of these facts proven, what wonder- 
ful improvements can be made in just foioxving these things! 
Knowledge is power. This is a new hope in relation to happiness 
in married life, and many will be thankful to know how to apply 
it to their own happiness. If this is not worth knowing, then 
what is? AVhat object do we live for'? While we have been held 
together in the form of a wheel by marring our opposites. it has 
not made the highest pleasures of married life. It has been a 
school in which our children's intellects were to be benefited. 
This period is fast passing from us. We have been marrying in 
any nation, destroying this good effect, because the wheel attrac- 
tion is weakening and a new and better law is soon to take its 
place, by marrjdng in our own tribe and nation. As we are now 
in the iran and day period, nothing is reliable any more : not 
even the laws of marriage, which are the most sacred of all laws, 
which Daniel mentions, 12:7: ''And when he shall have accom- 
plished to scatter the power of the hohj people, all these things 



178 Bible Flirenology 

shall be finished." Holy people means our very best class. AVe 
are unable to know whom to trust. This comes by so many dif- 
ferent nationalities being- mixed together. AVe do not under- 
stand each other; like different kinds of meal sifted together, 
Amos 9 :9. and not one of the Israelites is to be lost for this rea- 
son : only their own wickedness. Again, the tenefit will be felt 
in this way : AVhen we wish to choose an officer for a certain 
position, we would know from previous knowledge of the tribe 
where to find the man or woman. If we Avanted a watchman 
and one that would do his duty unflinchingly, we would turn to 
our tribe book to find his description. If we wanted a ruler, of a 
high class, to see that people carried on things justly, we could 
at once find the right person by the description, also know his 
disposition and how to treat him. For a servant, the book will 
describe him. This will forever settle the servant question. Or 
an artist or a clown, a minister or lawyer, without fear of being 
deceived, in any of the houses. 

In regard to the scriptures it will manifest the almighty power 
of God before all people, Isa. 60 :12. It will lead us out of dark- 
ness into light on the scriptures. It will lead to the speedy con- 
version of many to Christ, Isa. 54:2. It will bring about a revival 
ii the churches of God's spirit. It will secure for us ministers 
of religion after our own hearts, Jer. 3 :15, and there will be no 
more quarreling in the churches, for we will have a new hope to 
look forward to. Acts 1 :11. It will give us universal gladness 
and rejoicing, Isa. 60:21, and give us something to do. and es- 
tablish brotherhood and sisterhood that will be enduring. It 
AviU purify, sanctify and give us a Christian nation. It will 
secure the outpouring of the Spirit upon all nations and tongues, 
and give God his full glory before all nations, Isa. 45 :17-19. It 
will supply the grandest evidence of God's word ever yet given, 2 
Peter 1:19-21. These are a few of the reasons we give for the 
presence of this book. 



IMAGE OF GOD WITHIN US. 



Are we created in the image and likeness of God? Romans 
1 :19. Becanse that which may be knowTi of God is manifest in 
them; for God hath shown it unto us. Ror the invisible things 
of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being 
■understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power 
and godhead; so that we are ivithout excuse. 

Comparison of God and Man. 

And the Lord swore by his right arm, Isaiah 42 :8. 

We take an oath in the same manner. 

The Lord is slow to anger and great in power. 

God's people are slow to anger and great in power. 

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. 

So do we exhibit the same nature toward the distressed. 

The Lord God shall pursue his enemies. 

Man does the same. They both get angry. 

The Lord said the earth is my footstool. 

The earth is man's footstool, also, as it is impossible to take 
our feet from the e^rth. 

God said heaven is my throne. 

Man's head is heavenward, also, his hope to the same throne. 

God, says my eyes are upon them always. 

Men and women have eyes and exhibit a watchfulness. 

God sayeth my heart is grieved for my people, and I will love 
those that obey my commandments. 

We have hearts and are often grieved for our people. 

Ye are children of the Lord, your God. When ye pray, say 
our Father. 



180 Bihh Phrenology 

Men have children that call them father. 

The Bible is God's inspired books. 

]\Ien and women write many good books. 

Christ Avas also in the image of God. also the likeness of man. 

Then why do we not see God, and know him as we do our 
earthly father? 

AVe do not see the spirit of our earthly fathers, neither their 
voice nor feelings that belong to the spiritual part of their 
natures. AVe can only see the fleshy image the spirit dwells in: 
the body that perishes. We can hear them and feel their power 
and with the mind or sonl direct the spirit to do many good 
works. 

A\^e also see by the spiritual eye that God does mighty and 
gcod work with his power: makes things grow for ns to eat, 
k(eps the planets in order and makes the sun shine. 

God is a spirit and is invisible to the eye. 

Alan has a spirit that is invisible to the eye. AA'e cannot see 
the spirit of man any more than we can see G^d. Our mortal 
body retards the spiritual vision of the eye. 

AIaterial Comparison. 

AA^e will compare God to a tree. Christ said. I am the vine 
c body and ye are the branches and fruit. 

An apple does not look like a tree. Neither do we look like 
a god in the flesh : yet we are of God as the apple is of the tree. 
The apple is not expected to understand all about the mysteries 
0^ the tree, its father. It would have to know all about the root 
that is hidden in the earth. If it had eyes it could not see the 
root, from which the mysteries of its growth sprung, any more 
than we or the tree perhaps on which it grew. It would be too 
busy looking at the apple-s that were more in its fonn and shape, 
like we people do : see which ones wear the best clothes and have 
the most money. That apple would be as foolish as we are. until 
it would feel its strength giving way and wonder where it would 
fall, and hang onto the tree and dry up. AA^e see apples do that. 



Image of God ^Vitliin Vs 181 

^nd do no good, and their lives die within them. They become 
-dry branches. They look horrible to a good apple, and the seeds 
would not gTOw. The good apple does not feel the image and 
likeness of its father, the tree, written on its heart and seed any 
more than we understand onr fathers and that we have the image 
o: God in our hearts. AYe ourselves are a proof that there is a 
God.' as the apple is a proof that there is a tree. In that apple 
is a seed corresponding with our soul. In the seed is a little 
spirit of life in an image and likeness of its father, the tree, as 
we have written on our spiritual life an image of our father. 
AYe know by experience that that seed has life and power to pro- 
duce another tree, just like its parent tree. It does not under- 
stand much better than some people every condition of life. AYe 
d(' not look in shape and form and understand the spiritual life 
as we should. AYe have to desire and work and cultivate the 
spirit the same as we do the soul or mind. If we do not cultivate 
body, soul and spirit we throw our own lives out of harmony. 
AYe were created in three powers, body and soul and spirit, cor- 
responding with the Godhead. Father, Son (or soul) and Holy 
Spirit, three in one. The spirit itself beareth witness with our 
spiiit that we are the children of God. 

We are living in the period when God's word has become 
foolishness to the worldly wise and great men. ' ' Their prophets 
are prophets of wine and strong drink. Their women have been 
cast out of their pleasant homes through these prophets," Micah 
9 God has to choose the weak and despised to confound or to 
awaken the people. For this reason so many good and noble 
rren and women depend altogether upon money and education 
as the highest happiness to be obtained. These are good in their 
places. AYe do not condemn them, rightly secured. Too many 
stop at this station. There is another and more beautiful and 
happy yet to obtain. For if you stop at the eating station you 
will be likely to lose the train to your greatest desire, perfect 
happiness. Too much worldly pleasures only tend to quench the 
spirit, the very foundation of happiness, for we neglect to edu- 
cate and cultivate spiritual wisdom, the good element in us. 



182 Bihle Flirenologxj 

This is true of any tribe or nation. AYhen we succeed in driving- 
out the Godly spirit of wisdom, education does not give us Godly 
wisdom. AYe can educate a bird or dog to imitate: so many de- 
pend upon this imitation— a make believe— while their spirit is 
as weak and ignorant as a child's, sad and afraid, although we 
make a bold front to the world. They expect it of us : while our 
Godly spirit is pleading for food, so hungry within for some- 
thing we know not what. The reason men and women drink and 
smoke is to put to sleep this still small voice of conscience plead- 
ing with us. telling us what is right. God has written his name 
in our hearts, and there is where you will find God. God's spirit 
represents the silent side of life. Quench not the spirit. Let the 
spirit grow, cultivate it by prayer, no matter how weak. Start 
the spiritual plant growing. Never get discouraged. Your spirit 
may be very young, and it will take some time, although your 
bcdy may be well advanced in years. These words are spoken 
to the tAvelve tribes specially, and to all others that see fit to 
accept them. We can cultivate the spiritual body until it is 
stronger than the physical and vice versa. AYe can starve our 
physical body to death : so we can our spiritual. We can drive 
it from us. We are then no better than any other animal— not 
as good, for we swell the opposing element of God and try in 
every way to destroy the God element in others by sneers and 
profanity. The time is drawing near when Israelite strength 
will be called upon. ]Make ready. 



PLURAL WIVES. 



Many people are impressed Avith the belief that plural mar- 
riages are right. They will tell us their reason. They believe 
that if the old patriarchs with their wives were called Godly and 
holy men, and accepted of God, w^hy should not these conditions 
be acceptable now? This thought bothers many good, wise men 
and women, and it is also the reason why some women will sub- 
mit to such a life, fully believing it is the will of God. They are 
so devoted and obedient that they sacrifice their own happiness, 
because they do not understand properly what God does require 
of them. AVe will endeavor to show these people why that was 
once practiced and is now wrong. 

The first marriage laws are Gen. 2 :21-2-i. This world of people 
was once very young — in its infancy — and during its childhood 
days marriage relations were not considered froir^ our standard 
of marriage laws, any more than we would expect little children, 
say brother and sister, before they come to the years of under- 
standing, to obey our marriage and state laws. They would be 
of no effect. They are under the guidance of the parents, until 
they have learned from them many things, before they are ex- 
pected to obey the higher laws. So it was with the first Adam 
r^ce. God led and inspired them. We will explain as follows: 
Gen. 1:26: "God said, let us make man in our image, after our 
likeness, and let them have dominion." We learn by this that 
there were two creators. ' ' So God created man male and female, 
created He them." Now we have found out by the objects they 
created like them, that the Creators are male and female, in 
other words we have a father and mother Creator, called Lord 
God. Gen. 5:2-4: "And God made them male and female and 
called their name Adam in the day (not days) when they were 
created. When there was no helpmeet found for Adam, because 



184 Bible Phrenology 

they were in the dual nature, twins in some way united; and 
were unable to help each other in that condition, so the deep 
sleep fell upon them, and God separated them. He did not have 
to create another female, for he had already created her. He 
7nade her whole, or well: closed up the flesh, as he did Adam. 
They were blessed equally and were to have dominion equally, 
and when God says man he means both male and female, and 
Adam begat sons and daughters. The relations of Adam and 
Eve were brother and sister— twins— created at the same time. 
This statement goes to prove that the first race from Adam was 
a twin marriage, the brother and sister being man and wife. 
God taught them how to talk and the names of the animals, just 
as parents do today; then the knowledge of good and evil, just 
as wf do. The same tree that Mother Eve had to learn from, we 
have to learn from. It was God's fixed law before he created 
man. Knowledge of good and evil was then just as it is today. 
The tree of knowledge of good and evil represents our schools 
and the tree of life the churches. It no doubt took Eve fifty 
years to learn as much as a twelve year old girl knows today. 
But she brought the knowledge of good into the world which 
outbalances the evil, and is to cover the earth as the waters 
cover the sea. AYithout the knowledge of good this world would 
be. a dull place to live in. AYe could not enjoy the beauties, the 
grandeur and the pleasures of love toward one another. "We 
haA'e the power of knowing what is right and what is wrong, 
which all comes from Mother Eve's brave act. We have the 
knowledge of knowino^ when we offend God and can by obedience 
return to him. AYithout this knowledge we would have been like 
the beasts, yet some people Avill complain because Eve taught 
man good from evil, that he might go out in the world and mul- 
tiply and replemish it. for which God created him. How could 
this have been accomplished without knowledge? 

It was God's plan then, just as it is today. The mothers 
have to teach the little boys the knowledge of good and evil yet. 
We must have wise intelligent mothers if we expect to improve 
upon mankind. It is the disregard for the mother love that 



Plural Wives 185 

makes evil men, boys and girls. Adam and Eve were as ignorant 
as our babes, and could not get along without knowledge any 
better than we could. They would have died just the same as 
they did if they had not taken the tree of knowledge, for they 
did not have the tree of life and could not have eaten (means to 
learn) or partaken of the tree of life without the knowledge of 
knowing how, any more than we can. They would have had no 
desire. "The day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die," 
had no reference to the physical body dying. It meant the 
spiritual body. Just the same as we tell our children they must 
be good or God will not love you, you will not go to heaven 
w^hen you die; we teach our children there is a spiritual life 
beyond the grave ever since Eve began to teach it to man^ because 
it is God's law. God does not send men and women to destruc- 
tion. They do it themselves by choosing to do evil instead of 
good. We ai:e either sheep or goats before death from choice. 
We can save ourselves. No one can do it for us. AA^e can choose 
to do good and obey God's commands. If we are goats we can 
become sheep. There is no mystery about it. A fool need not 
go astray. 

We will return to the subject and refer you to history that 
proves our statement that man and wife were brother and sister, 
and this ended with Abraham, as he was to be father of a differ- 
ent kind of people, and required a new set of laws. As soon as 
the people became numerous enough, the break between the old 
and the new law was confusing, as it represented in the life of the 
nations the cropping out of manhood and womanhood, and they 
began to act out their own impulses as young people do. At that 
age they began by trading sisters and brothers. To make this 
plain to all classes of minds, we will compare the nations' laws 
in the beginning to a stalk of corn. While the stalk is growing 
nothing but twin leaves appear on the stalk, until the stalk 
matures in size and age, which took place at Abraham's time, 
and became father of four nations, already stated. We might 
call it four ears of corn on the stalk — one red ear, one dark, the 
■other white, and a mixed ear, with the same fixed law governing 



186 Bible Phrenology 

the offspring that governs the corn. It was God's plan to keep 
these from mixing and destroying their proper nature and pur- 
pose for which He brought them into the world. Those that will 
mix regardless of His law, we will class in the mixed nation. 
God values the pure blood in his people for the same reason that 
we value good seed corn. It gives the highest and best results. 
Whatever kind we plant, whether red, white or sweet corn, we 
have a purpose. To mix them all together would destroy them 
all. The plural wives do the same, mix relationship, as well as 
weakening their intellects. The twin law now has to give way for 
a relationship law, and also a law to prohibit these dif- 
ferent nations from mixing, as these four new nations will 
scon be producing their own offspring, and will need a law 
to guide them in their infancy. You will find the law against the 
sister and brother marriages in Lev. 18 :3-30. It took many years 
to overcome this first law. AVith the nations budding into man- 
hood with no particular law against plural marriages they 
drifted into it by following their own inclinations, or they began 
to follow after the heathens, the descendants of Cain who was 
banished from God for his wicked, cruel, murderous nature. 
They were the ones that instituted plural marriages. In the be- 
ginning it was not so, neither among the Godly people, until they 
began to imitate the heathen marriages, and to follow after their 
gods. We will give some very ancient history in regard to 
brother and sister marriages, and their being handed down by 
others, besides the Bible history. 

Dr. John Kitto says : ' ' They were just and wise regulations, 
forbidding the marriage of near relations." In this same book 
we find that the Egyptians still practiced the brother and sister 
marriages, and the law gave them permission. Wilkinson says: 
^'It is a fact that those laws were in force in early times." 
Diodorus Siculus also says: "It is lawful among the Egyptians 
to marry a sister, since such a union was in the case of Iris, so 
fortunate in its consequences." Pausanias Philadelphus married 
his own sister, which was not lawful among the Macedonians, 
they having passed a law against it, but it was entirely in ac- 



Plural Wives 187 

cordaiice with the law of the Egyptians over which he ruled. We 
learn from the same book that the Egyptians were the last nation 
to practice the sister marriage. We see the strong attraction be- 
tween the twins yet. This is a proof of this Adamatic marriage 
tie. for what is in the blood will crop out occasionally. 

Deut. 7 :2-4 and Ezra 10 are the laws against the marriage 
of the different nations and tribes. It was a sin because it con- 
fused God's plans, and destroyed the usefulness and happiness 
of his people. In Abraham's time^ his wife being his sister, and 
the handmaids being the property of the wife, she alone con- 
trolled the offspring, which is the proper way now, as well as 
then. They should be governed by the wife. The handmaid 
wife was an improvement and a breaking away from the sister 
marriage that was coming, and increased, and it produced a bet- 
ter and a different kind of offspring, and it was practiced for a 
good and pure purpose, wdiile under the control of the sister 
wife, and kept in their own blood. 

The Egyptian handmaid's child brought in a disturbing ele- 
ment, and had to be sent away. This same disturbing element 
is seen in the homes today, because of improper crossing of the 
national bloods. The handmaid Avife was not looked upon as 
polygamy, there being no law. It was a condition and proper in 
its day, and the change it brought about was beneficial, in insti- 
tuting the conditions under which the tribe was born, which has 
b(en already explained in the case of Joseph's birth; his mother 
was so proud to think she was to be a mother. This is the reason 
this tribe is so proud and it represents the royal tribe, because 
his mother had endured so much to please God. She felt God 
had blessed her above all others. This same feeling is still in 
existence in this tribe, because her organ of self esteem was 
wonderfully exercised. While the tribe nature has been a fixed 
law of our natures, yet the conditions under which a child is- 
barn in our day have much to do with its innate or personal 
nature, and our mothers in the future will need more care, as 
our innate nature, often overrule or equal the tribe nature either 



188 Bible Phrenology 

for good or for evil, yet when known can be changed or im- 
proved, being the pliable part of onr nature. 

There is a time to be born, and a proper condition to be born 
under, that will insure great happiness and perfection, as the 
birds, but we are too far from the time to be of benefit in this 
writing. As we advance in intelligence and good works we be- 
come more perfect in our relations. We will learn that those 
that practice plural marriages are either degenerating back into 
heathendom or ignorance. This is the reason that plural wives 
are not right, any more than plural husbands. As we approach 
the perfect marriage laws we will marry in our own tribes and 
our equals. It will be similar to the twin marriage, only more 
perfect and lastint:'. for there will be no marrying of blood re- 
lations. 

If you have a desire to know something about how the people 
lived when the nations w^ere in their infancy and childhood, read 
their love songs and sayings, when they Avere espoused from the 
mother's breast; comparing their brothers and sisters to the 
fiuits and flowers and the things they saw about them; innocent 
and childlike, having always lived together in perfect innocence, 
and they were like children even after grown— read Solomon's 
Songs, eighth chapter. In the first chapter, fifth verse, we learn 
in that day the tribe of Kedar was darker but more comeh^ than 
the dauofhters of Jerusalem. 



RETURN or ISRAEL. 



Under this head we will give in straight scripture words 
facts pertaining to the return of Israel, only giving the book in 
which they are found, mostly to prove that they are to return 
and possess their land literally, and not beyond the grave, in 
the heavens. AA'hile that may be true in one .way, it is not what 
we are trying to prove. It is here on earth we are to gather to- 
gether who are now in the tlesh. Micah 2 : "I will surely assemble, 

Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; 

1 will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in 
the midst of the fold. They shall make a great noise by reason 
of the multitude of men.'' The remnant of Jacob is among the 
Gentiles in the midst of many people, and in the last d-ays it 
sliall come to pass that many nations shall come and say. let us 
go up to the house of Jacob ; and he will teach us of his ways and 
we will walk in his paths. 

Zephaniah 3 "The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, 
nor speak lies ; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their 
moTjth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make 
them afraid. At the time will I bring you again, even in the 
time that I gather you -, for I will make you a name and a praise 
among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity 
(of the bonds) before your eyes, sayeth the Lord." 

Haggai : "The Glory of this latter house shall be greater 
than the former one." 

Zechariah 10 : * ' I will strengthen the house of Judah, I w411 
save the house of Joseph, I will have mercy on them, although 
I had cast them off. They shall be like a mighty man, and their 
hearts will rejoice as with new wine-, yea. their children shall 
vsee it and be glad; their hearts shall rejoice in the Lord. In 
that day I will make governors of Judah, and Jerusalem shall 



190 ■ Bible Phrowlogy 

be inhabited again. I will save the tents of Juclah first (because 
he is the law maker), as the inhabitants of Jerusalem (or Ish- 
maelites) magnify themselves against Juclah and the house of 
David shall he as God, as the angel of the Lord before them, and 
it shall come to pass in that day, I will seek to destroy all nations 
that come against Jerusalem, for I will pour upon the inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem (when Judah gets there) the spirit of grace 
and supplication: and tliey {the nations, not Judah,) shall look 
upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn." Not 
Judah, for Christ has poured out his spirit upon him before-, 
he does not mourn from the pierced look. It is the Solomon 
Levi Jews, net the true Jews, that mourn, every family apart. 
They also claim the house of David. In that day there will be a 
fi'Untain opened to the house of David for sin and uncleanness. 
The Lord forgives them, in other words, yet many will be 
ashamed of their prophecies and their rough garments to deceive 
(why the rough garments to deceive if this be Judah?) and be 
ashamed of the wounds in their hands. These are the Ishmael 
Jews, but they will be purified as Israel was and accepted of the 
Lord. They will call on his name and be saved. 

The return to Jerusalem is where the test will end. The tribe 
cf Judah will not be called Jews when they return to this land, 
for they have united with the house of Israel as before they 
separated. Rev. 2 :3-9 : "I know the blasphemy of them that 
say they are Jews and are not. Behold I will make them of 'the 
synagogue, which say they are Jcavs and are not." (AYho had 
the synagogues? The very same people that have them now.) 
Jeremiah 50 : " Declare ye among the nation, and set up a 
standard; publish, conceal not; say Babylon is taken. In these 
days, and in that time, sayeth the Lord, the children of Israel 
shall come. They and the children of Judah together, and seek 
the Lord their God." That is the time they joined together. 
There was no secret about it, for .hey published it among all 
nations, so their name was no more called Jew or Judah. **And 
I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on 
Carmel, and his soul shall be satisfied. In those davs, and in 



Retwrn of Israel 191 

that time, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there 
shall he none found, and the sins of Jndah, and they shall not be 
found. I will paidon them (Ishmael Jews) whom I reserved for 
(to hide Judah behind as a shield). Thus saith the Lord of 
Hosts. The children of Irael and Jitdali ivere oppressed together; 
all chat took them captive held them fast and would not let them 
go ; yet the time came when they themselves fell, then they united 
together as previously stated. 

Zephaniah 3: "Behold, at that time I will undo all that 
affiict thee : and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that 
was driven out ; and I Avill get them praise and fame in every 
land where they have been put to shame." The Ishmael Jew 
despises the Gentile Jew, with a greater hatred than the Gentiles 
dislike them. You will often hear a Gentile wish he was a Jew, 
but you never hear a Jew wish he was a Gentile. The Gentiles 
do not hate the Jews. See the support they give the Jew in his 
trade. It is the Judean Jew (but forgiven when he took the 
bonds) that was hated in the day this prophecy was given. The 
shoe is on the other foot now, in their own minds, because they 
so desired it. 

This is what Josephus and the Romans say in regard to the 
Jews, and their own confession; War of the Jews, Chapter 10, 
paragraph 5, page 800: "They confessed what was true, that 
they were (not the true Jews) the slaves, or servants, the spuri- 
ous offsp\ring of our nation, or the nation that sprang from 
Abraham, through Hagar and Keturah, as we have traced them 
also. The truth must not be covered up any longer, for it will 
toke years to learn it any way." 

Hosea : "Then shall the children of Israel be gathered to- 
gether and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up 
( ut of the land." You see most all the scriptures say they joined 
together before they left the old country where they have been 
in bondage. 

Ezekiel 37: "Behold they say our bones are dried, and our 
hope is lost ; we are cut off from our part ; say unto them. Thus 
sayeth the Lord, my people, I will open your graves, and I ring 



192 Bible Phnnolocjij 

you into the Jand of Israel. Moreover, take the one stick and 
write upon it for Judah and for the children of Israel, and for 
all the house of Israel, join them one to the other in one stick 
and they shall become one in mine hand/' 

Now the Lord has told how he made one of Ezekiel's wheels^ 
and tells them what this means. "I will make them one nation 
i'l the land, one kino- shall be king: over them all -. and they shall 
be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two 
kingdoms: neither shall they defile themselves with idols." This 
gives us a key to how the Lord formed the other tribes into 
wheels or nations. Christ said, "I am the vine and ye are the 
blanches,'' which refers to the same fixed law of attraction the 
same as the branches of a tree. Israel is likened to the cedar 
tree, the top branches being the royalty and the lower branches 
the laboring class, or servants. God rules by law. Isaiah 66 : ' i 
will also take of the Levites for priests, sayeth the Lord, and aU 
nations upon horses, swift beasts, coming to my holy mountain 
Jerusalem with offerings in clean vessels." 

Revelation 1 is about to be fulfilled, as it is now being made 
possible to know the tribes. This will require individual work. 
Isaiah 27:12: "It shall come to pass ye shall be gathered to- 
gether one by one. ye children of Israel." to receive the mark 
of your house and tribe in the forehead or by intellectual 
qualities. 

The Israelites have not only kept their emblems of their 
tribes, they have also kept the stone on which Jacob pillowed 
his head when he saw the visions of the angels and the ladder 
spoken of in the Bible. The stone of Scane now rests in the front 
of the great coronation chair in England. In 1296 King Edward 
I. brought it to England. 

Ezekiel 20:34: ""And I will bring you out from the people, 
wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, with fury poured 
out. I will bring you into the wildeniess of the people, and there 
will / plead with you fa-ce to face like I pleaded with your fathers 
hi the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you again, sayeth the 
Lord. ' ' AVe may look for this to come to pass, since the wireless 



ReUcrn of Israel 195 

telegraph reports are good authority that they have received 
names and parts of sentences pertaining to Bible times, reg- 
istered themselves from the elements. ^^This is getting close to 
Moses hearing the voice of the Lord from the burning bush. 

With telepathy an assured fact, sending a message 125 miles 
by the power of the mind and action. x)f our thoughts, we should 
be more ready to investigate before condemning a new discovery. 
It has come to be the strongest point of ignorance to condemn 
anything before examining into its merits and value. There will 
bo plenty to condemn the contents of this book ; yet we make no 
apology for its appearance. The harvest is ripe, and this book 
will fill the place for which it is intended, regardless of criticism 
of the higher or lower classes; for this book is intended by the 
writer to be of great value and benefit to all classes and nations 
that read its pages. It will lighten up the dark pages in history. 

This new discover}^ of the tribes is a step higher in the science 
of phrenology, and is founded on ancient and modern history, 
and the science of phrenolog\' and the Bible, in which we find 
the nature, character and description of the forty-eight tribes 
which descended from Abraham ; the precious stones belonging 
to each tribe, also the standards belonging to the tribes of Israel. 
To all persons interested in the twentieth century progress and 
new developments that are coming upon the people, this book 
Avill give new light, hope, and new work to do. 



I 



GENEALOGY OF NATIONS 



Abraham was to be father of the nations and kings, Gen. 17 :6. 
We will endeavor to show when this took place, and who they 
were. We have already stated the fixed law. Gen. 25:12. Ish- 
raael, the first son, by Hagar, composes the first nation, repre- 
sented by the black horses, and their occupation traders. They 
were given the covenant of circumcision, representing the fleshy 
covenant, which only represented Abraham's family and was 
not obligatory upon the descendants of Isaac's seed, although 
they circumcized as the seed of Abraham, but not as a covenant. 

Isaac was father of two nations, and the spiritual covenant, 
or everlasting covenant, was bestowed upon him and his»seed. 
For it is said in Isaac shall the seed be called, through the twin 
nations, Esau and Jacob. Esau's twelve sons make the second 
nation, represented by the red horse; Jacob and his twelve sons 
the white horse; the sons of Manasseh the pale and bay horse. 
They are called beasts to represent that each nation was as dif- 
ferent as the beasts in nature and occupation — a fixed law of 
nature promised before the children were born that the one would 
be stronger than the other. 

Ezekiel's W^heels. 

The mystery of Ezekiel's wheels and how they were composed 
iis given in 37 : The stick that each tribe carried with the emblem 
oi' their tribe and their names upon it. The Lord said he joined 
them all together in his hand and they became one nation. The 
twelve sticks resemble a wheel in the Lord's hand. This can be 
understood when we read the first chapter in regard to the four 
wheels, and they each had the likeness of a man, and a man has 
f < ur difl:erent views to his head. We have also written the i.araes 



196 Bible Phrenology 

of the tribes on the sticks in the wheels, as the Lord has givea 
us a key in the t>velv«- tribes^ which unlocked the mystery to the 
other tribes. 

Edom and Jacob are twin nations : Ishmael a cousin nation ; 
Mannasseh second cousin. Ishmael's nation is the wealthiest. 
God has blessed them bountifully in their work. Edom is the 
next wealthiest and is the most powerful in the government ; 
holding most all of the prominent offices, from state to city offi- 
cers, and fast gaining possession of the public schools. Jacob is 
the most powerful in the church and reform work, and fast pre- 
paring for the new kingdom. II. Esdi^s. 6 :9 ; Apocrypha, the 
Old Bible. 

It is strange but true, that God choose the second or third son 
from Adam to receive the spiritual blessing, or birthright, as it 
is called, and the blessing of Joseph's sons was a striking illus- 
tration of the last blessing. This means something beyond our 
comprehension unless it was that God still remembered Cain's 
cruel act, or that the first born represents the earthly father's 
blessing of the material world, which seemed to be the way the 
blessing would have gone in Abraham. Isaac, Jacob. Joseph and 
Reuben, if it had not been for the wife or others interferring> 
Levi was blessed instead of Reuben. 



THE TWELVE SIGNS. 



There is no question bnt the twelve signs of the Zodiac has 
been a power and influence upon the earth and its inhabitants 
since the creation. Yet we believe the conditions before the flood 
were not as concentrated upon the individual life as they are 
now. The earth has become more compact and the human life 
more perfect. At the beginning of the tribal dispensation and 
when the houses were established was the true beginning in the 
lives of people, and we believe that there are other signs, or 
solar systems corresponding with the houses of Ishmael, Edom 
and Manasseh for this reason. The present Jews reckon time 
differently from the Gentile time. In Job 3 :6 the months are 
mentioned. The Israelite time once began with the signs. The 
Komans changed the time when they came into power and gave 
us the months corresponding with their style of dividing of time. 
Each house having a different law of dividing their kaleidoscope 
time is a proof that there was a good cause that brought about 
the effect. AYe have no knowledge on the line of astrology, there- 
fore will just drop these ideas for future development. 

As each house has a different origin, or father, they have 
dift'erent dispositions and different callings in life. The Ishmael 
people were traders for j^ears and are to this day. The tribes of 
Edom were a roaming people, adapting them to improvements 
of the roads and highways of travel by land and by sea, railroad 
and steamship builders, makers of swords, implements of war 
and ammunition; and soldiers, also stock raisers, as hogs, sheep, 
oxen and camels. Their farming was not of the great variety 
of kinds, as was that of the Israelites — more for feed and pas- 
ture, a meat eating people, and given to the pleasures of life. 
We have given some reasons why we believe that the mind of 
these people could not be so influenced by the twelve signs as 
that of the twelve sons of Jacob, and we will now ofive our rea- 



198 Bible Phrenology 

sons why they specially belong to Jacob's tribe, not alone as 
their standards but a direct drill, as well as a birth influence that 
has educated them under these signs, and has kept their natures 
classified, as tribes, for years and years. It is a well known fact 
that these people were tillers of the soil in the beginning with 
vineyards and fruits. Jeremiah 29:5: *' Build ye houses, and 
dwell in them: plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. Bear 
sons and daughters, that ye may be increased and not diminished, 
and seek the peace of the city, whither I have caused you to be 
carried away captive." This was of seventy years duration, at 
the end of which the Lord visited them and changed the captivity 
t^ that of bonds to other nations. This was much better, as they 
could travel where they pleased but were not to set up a kingdom. 
Verse 28. The command was renewed again to build houses and 
die ell in them, eat the fruit of the gardens, as this captivity is 
to he long, until Judah and Israel are restored to their land. AVe 
learn by this that no other nation has been so co-mmanded of God 
to //// the ground, and live on fruit and garden vegetables. We 
will still define them to each ruling sigii of the tribe's banner, as 
a positive fact, that these people are under the influence by the 
application of the mind to the condition, for a long duration, 
that time has not erased, becoming a fixed law of their tribe. 
We will begin with the head sign and go to the feet. 

Aries — Rules from ]\Iarch 19 to April 20. This is a time of 
preparation, arranging for the spring work. Mentally, as the 
mind has first to conceive what to do and how to do it, getting 
the year's work in a systematic form. Much of the labor is brain 
work, with anxiety as the spring approaches: fences and fields 
to get in order. The birds begin their sweet melodies, flitting 
from place to place to charm with their sweet songs their mates 
for the coming year. Their love songs are God's power also, that 
holds all nature spellbound, in the charms of life's embrace; 
with the heavens, and father and mother earth coming to unite 
their powers to bring new life to all human, animal and vege- 
trble. It is also a time of systematic living, to make the winter 
stores last until produced again, learning economy, and placing a 



The Twelve Signs 199 

high valiie on what they already possess. A child' born nnder 
these influences will also be partaker of the conditions that sur- 
round the parent, what they enjoy and are interested in. This 
was true of the times in which the tribes lived and were in cap- 
tivity to this kind of life alone. It was the all, and their educa- 
tion, their amusements, their pleasures were such as the. earth 
produced. At this time our best gifted singers are born, and the 
birds sing the sweetest. The love element is less strong, as the 
mind is absorbed in business interests and planning with the 
head, giving literary callings to them and quick thought and 
anxious minds. 

Taurus— Is ruler of the elements from April 20 to ^lay 23. 
This represents the father element of life, all energy and all 
forces in life are active, that their species are to spring forth. 
Trees are buddins: and blooming, birds are building their nests. 
The animals are filled Avith new life energy which harmonizes 
with the time. Marriages are more plentiful and successful at 
this time : wedding feasts and banquets, lawn parties are in order, 
which the young and old enjoy together. Father nature is active 
in all classes and grades of life. The ]\Iay pole is in order at 
this time, with its gay attractions and scenes of pleasure Avhich 
are never enjoyed as well at any other time of year, because of 
the newness of life, and the energ^^ and force that is enthused in 
every one — with a keen desire to please, and therefore we are 
much vexed if things go wrong. A child born at this time will 
take on these enjoyments and expect to make life a May day, 
therefore meets with much opposition from those otherwise born, 
who think they are too full of life and energy for the sober 
minded. They are generous providers, loving and kind hearted. 
This is a better month for men than for women, as they are 
adapted to care for the many and very determined in their plans. 

Gemini— Rules from May 23 to June 21. These days are 
days of labor and heavy burdens, plowing, planting, weeding 
and much labor that requires stooping down, making use of the 
hands and feet, preparing the way for the new births or life in 
nature : all minds are active in the direction and planning of 



200 Bible Phrenolocfxj 

work and labor pcrfoniied, with hope of its reward. Children 
born at this time are liable to be stoop shouldered or bowed 
dowTi in some deformed way. and are liable to think there is 
nothing gained except through labor, and \vill feel that a gi*eat 
responsibility rests upon them, and that they have to carry 
others' burdens which are thrust upon them, and often become 
a disturbing element in the home, as they are so alive to every 
little service they perform, and magnify it. while others may do 
twice the amount without once thinking it a burden. With 
strangers they will be more reasonable, as it is principally in 
their minds. 

Caxcee. the Breast — Is the mother element and rules from 
Jiuie 21 to July 20. There are more nursing mothers at this 
time of year than any other month. Mother earth is now at work 
looking after the young. The sweet songs of the April birds 
have changed from building nests to feeding the young birds in 
the nests. The domestic side of life is very apparent, and calls 
the attention of mothers of the earth, in all grades of life. The 
mother love pulsates through all nature: training the young to 
walk, eat or to ily. In every direction tact and watchfulness is 
iv the extreme, causing a fretful nature from overworked nerve 
force: a tired feeling and much stooping. Some gardens also 
require constant care, as well as the young of all kinds. The 
young birds begin to sing and twitter. The cradle songs are low 
and sweet, the young song birds are heard. Love and kindness 
are of the choicest: mother and father love for the young. A 
child born at this time is very sensitive in its love nature. Under 
this influence one can see the true nature, and many ways to 
read them and remaining with them through life. They should 
guard against stooping, while tired, or at work, as they are 
inclined to stoop over — weak chested. Stand and sit erect. This 
is not a good month for men. They are very domestic and good 
in manufacturing and invention. 

Leo — Is now the ruling sign, from July 20 to August 22. also 
the sun. which is the royal planet. This is the very heart of the 
year, when all nature has ripened into usefulness and all nature 



The Twelve Signs 201 

has a resting spell, with, a new pride of what has been produced, 
The parents are proud of their offspring. The cares are much 
lessened: there is a plentiful supply of everything. The sun 
takes the place of the fire, mother earth and her people are en- 
joying the treasurers of nature's product. The hearts of the 
cabbages, vegetables, melons and fruits are all sought after with 
the knife. The sickle is sharpened for the harvest, vrhile the sun 
gives a golden hue to all nature. The beauties of God's blessings 
and love to mankind are visible in the fruits, flowers and vege- 
tables, just the right proportion for our hands to hold : just the 
right flavor to suit our taste : just the right color to please our 
eyes : just the right material to nourish our bodies. God is so 
good, and so kind. "Who eau help loving Him Avhen he looks 
upon His handiwork held out to us on every branch, stalk and 
leaf, and when we see He has given us a mind and nature to 
enjoy them, and a heart and soul to love one another? We can 
live so near God. and enjoy all His blessings perpetually if we 
will but try. Children born at this time will have a great ad- 
vantage in understanding God's blessings and love to mankind. 
They will be averse to labor. Avith a feeling of pride and inde- 
pendence, because the parents have come to that time of year 
when they enjoy the fruits of their labor. This child is not 
adapted to provide for the individual comforts of others, as these 
responsibilities had passed, therefore they expect to be waited 
upon and plentifully supplied. As the parents' minds are oc- 
cupied in- plans to save the har\'est and secure it against the 
winter, so .there people will be wonderfully skillful in saving 
and caring for what they have. 

Virgo — Is the ruling sign from August 22 to September 23. 
Now comes the seed time and harvest, requiring good judgment, 
cr.re and artistic ability, to quickly judge the kinds and qualities 
which require a critical eye. dividing the good from the inferior, 
that will endure storing away. There is much labor, but 
of short duration, not so confining as in the spring ; much feast- 
ing and of a pleasant and enjoyable class, with sweets, fruits 
and flavors. The ripening fruits are tast-ed that please the ap- 




202 Bible Phrenology 

petite. Children bom at this time will be peculiar about their 
eating, and A^dll enjoy the fall of the year much the best when 
surrounded with fruits and flowers. They will suffer many pains 
in the stomach because of acids eaten at this time of year; a 
sort of inherited condition. They are lovers of fragrance, ele- 
gance and beauty, and are plentiful providers; industrious and 
accumulating, lovers of plenty. 

Libra — Comes now and endures from September 23 to Octo- 
ber 20. He has his balance, the dividing sign to weigh and 
divide the harvest that Virgo has so carefully prepared and 
garnered in. This product has to be marketed and divided 
among the people, that each one gets his proper allowance. Much 
speculation is required and foresight used in calculating the 
world's harvest. This is also a day of rejoicing, singing and 
making merry over the profits and benefits, in money and other 
ways. Some will sell and speculate with it, some go so far now- 
adays as to gamble with it, store it up and starve the people. 
This was not so with the tribes in those days. We believe Libra 
would be an honest divider if he was not imposed upon by other 
nations. He would provide for home and family first, yet there 
are -good and bad in all tribes, and this is a good opportunity at 
this time of year for the honest and dishonest person alike to 
take chances for speculation. A child born at this time is sur- 
rounded with this kind of influence and conversation which is 
first learned, and will be in many cases gifted for these profes- 
sions of trade and speculation, handling of money and pro- 
visions; musical and happy people with a '^^eat desire to have 
their allow^ance and see that others have theirs, and often im- 
pressed that there is an inheritance coming to them, and expect 
many home comforts. They are very industrious in measuring 
and dividing- all through life, among their relations, and take 
great pride in being able to do so ; enjoy giving comfort to oth- 
ers, helping them out of troubles and difficulties, and greatly 
appreciate kindness showTi them ; kind to animals and the young^ 
and helpless. 

Scorpio, the Watchman or Detective— October 21 to No- 



The Tivelve Signs 203 

vember 20. If Libra has not divided the harvest honestly, and 
in the proper manner, the detective will be on his track, and he 
will be brought to justice. The winter is now coming on ; the 
people are required to come into closer relations when there will 
be need of a watchman to go about among the people to see that 
some are not imposed upon by others ' wrong doing, and that im- 
proper domestic relations and all im^irities be punished, that 
justice be looked after in all lines of life, and that the people 
may not degenerate themselves by improper marriages with other 
tribes. A child born at this time of year will be watchful of 
everything about it, ready to punish or report wrong doing in 
any line of life. They see and know what every one is doing 
about them. The higher the grade of the child the more digni- 
fied their work will be done^ the less cultured the more rude. 
They are very critical all through life and without the proper 
training may be disliked. They are not yet appreciated. We 
need their full power. They have a grand work and when pro- 
perly understood will be highly honored. 

Sagittarius— Begins his work November 21, extending to De- 
cember 22. The labors of the harvest and fall have passed, the 
detective has adjusted his part of the work. We no>v turn our 
minds to a different side of life. We now begin to give instruc- 
tion to the families and children in religious principles and ed- 
ucation. The mind and intellect must be looked after and guided 
while there is time and opportunity, and all minds are interested 
in these principles for a season. Religious services are in order: 
thanksgiving and nraises to the Lord for their bountiful bles- 
sings, song services and education, needle work and embroidery 
of all kinds are indulged in, and weaving and coloring. A child 
born at this time will be an expert in these things. No doubt 
this is why Levi was the chosen tribe for the priesthood. Labor 
outside of family interests are little sought after by them. 

Capricornus— Is next in order. December 22 to January 20. 
We now come to a very powerful and strong intellectual sign, 
and resting spell. The winter is now at its coldest, and physical 
activities of the livelv sorts have ceased. The families are drawn 



■o 



04 Bible Phrenology 



closer together. They begin to plan and study about the laws 
that govern them and the power of God over them ; the results of 
law and obedience to the law. We can imagine in this time there 
w^as much discussion and argument held in regard to the right 
and wrong of law and religion, as we still have in Congress and 
among the homes, and of labor questions. Silent games are in- 
dulged in, where thought is required. A child born under this 
influence will be thoughtful and a good student of law, and with 
a desire to make laws for others around them ; a disposition to use 
their intellect rather than the physical nature. Labor is dis- 
tasteful to them, for this reason intellectual callino-s should be 
chosen for their life work. 

Aquarius— Now makes her appearance, ruling from Janu^ 
ary ^0 to February 19. Just on time, while the people are closely 
assembled together and have but tittle to do but study the faces. 
A good time to study human nature, while so near each other. 
The mother compares the faces and traces out their features, and 
notes the differences ; studies their habits and the deeds they do, 
their conversation and manner. The mind is now quiet and can 
penetrate deeper and deeper into the science of the human life ; 
the mysteries of nature. AA^hile the body is at rest the mind is 
active and more easily interested in every act of nature than at 
any other time of the year. At other seasons these things would 
not be noticed. The study of nature is never exhausted, for it is 
the study of God's handiwork. The child born at this time will 
inherit the habit and still go on with the study, and improve 
upon its gift, until the very origin of the spirit and soul is re- 
vealed. Romans 1 :19-20 : "For the invisible things of Him from 
the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood hij 
the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; 
so that they (or we) are without excuse." We must keep study- 
ing God's laws of nature to know Him and appreciate His love. 
This child's mind is unincumbered with petty cares and can take 
its flight, searching out greater and grander achievements than 
those already gained, and bring them visible to the world. Yet 
this child's mind is timid in worldly matters, and easily over- 
come by care and responsibility. 



The Tivelve Signs 205^ 

Pisces— This is the last and rules from February 19 to March 
20. These people are still burdened to know what is to be done 
with this vast world of human life, and like Aquarius have a 
tendency to great reasoning, which awakens the soul to guide 
her knowledge. Luke 2:95. They are great philosophers, for 
this reason. Their mind and heart (which is the seat of the soul) 
become united. This gives them great depth of pose, as the 
Grand Man of the universe is awakened from the long rest and 
gets upon his feet, he at once begins to ask questioiLS, why, when, 
and which, should be done; the causes and effects are carefully 
studied over for the past year, with a full realization that another 
year's work is to be planned. The designs for another year are 
to be beautified and awakened to a new life, nature that is now 
asleep must come forth into activity, as provisions are getting 
scarce and it is necessary to curtail expenses until another har- 
vest. Every detail is planned and designed for another year, to 
beautify and awaken nature, and Avill soon be handed over to 
Aries to be put into action. The children of Pisces will be medi- 
tative and great thinkei's, as the brain is in a state of deep 
thoughtfulness. They will ask questions, why, and how, who, 
and when, until they tire those around them with their ques- 
tions. They will study out many plans for others that they them- 
selves never think of doing, as they are very original in thought. 
They usually feel a great duty and responsibility resting on them 
what they should do, but they take great pleasure in talking or 
writing to relieve their minds. AVithout this opportunity they 
might become insane or demented in some way, as they are timid 
and with rough surrounding^ and where they have to labor, they 
do not accomplish much, unless educated. 



riXED LAW or THi: NATIONS 



A TRUE SOLUTION OF THE JEWISH PROBLEM 

FIXED LAWS THAT RULE TRIBES AND NATIONS AND HOLD 
THEM TOGETHER. 

CHAPTER I. 

It is by no means easy to arrange and condense the mass of 
information, which we wish to convey to the minds of the people, 
concerning the fall and progress of these most stupendous nations 
of the world. No subject can be thoroughly understood until 
its elements have been learned. This principle holds good in 
divine studies, the same as in other things, and oftimes becomes 
subjects of dispute, because our minds fly above or away from 
scripture in studying, and think to understand the end, without 
having had a clearer view of the beginning. 

This is our apology for inviting our readers to go back with 
us to the days of Abraham. AYe will give an illustration of the 
nations of Abraham which proves a fixed law of attraction, that 
governs the people as nations and tribes; each given a nature, 
blessing and adaptabilities, that follow them to the end of time. 

In Jeremiah 1 :10 we see how the Lord set him over the 
nations, and over kingdoms ; to root out, to pull down and 
destroy. He first prophesied the destruction and pulling down 
of Jerusalem, the house of Judah, and captivity of God's people. 
Jeremiah 18 :7. In the eighth verse he speaks as of another 
nation ; further on was to build and to be planted. Jeremiah 
1:10. If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then 
will I repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them. 
Yet we are free to do good or evil, as is proven by the way in 
which the people have abused these great gifts of nature, which 



208 Bible Phrenology 

are all good, until, by constant sinning, we abuse and degrade 
them. Before ^ve are capable of judging, who God, through 
Jeremiah, pulled down and built up (which means built in the 
priesthood, to learn the law of Moses) we must first learn the 
nature and adaptabilities of the nations, that Ave may know 
them by their fruits, as Christ has said. For this set or fixed 
law is as durable in the different houses or nations, as the dif- 
ferent kinds of fruit : or why would Christ have made this com- 
parison to fruit? Look at the thorn and the thistles, their* 
nature is the same now as it was then, and so are the nation.-?. 
The house of Ishmael gradually drifted into the priesthood so 
slowly and took such care to hide every trace of who they were, 
by changing their name, and educating themselves in a manner 
to make a change so perfect that thoy could deceive all the 
world, even the house of Judah themselves, but they could not 
deceive Christ. In St. John. 8 :37-44. He says : "I know that 
ye are Abraham's seed, but ye seek to kill me. because my word 
hath no place in you" : again. "If you were Abraham's children 
ye would do the works of Abraham'": and He tells them their 
father was the father of lies. The father of this house is 
Ishmael. his hand against every man -. the fact of their having 
descended from Abraham does not make them Israelites, their 
nature springs from the father of the tribe which can no longer 
be hidden and by which this nation is known and divided into 
tribes, which is also a set law, that is proof of their individuality 
as a people. 

"We will now give the- particulars in regard to each house 
and the laws that govern them— a true solution of the Jewish 
problem. 

House of Ishmael. the fleshy covenant. Gen. 17:12. We 
will give first the nature, disposition, blessing or covenant. Gen. 
16. The birth of Ishmael was planned through worldly or 
ambitious desires of Sarah and her handmaid (the Egj^ptian 
bondwoman), which she sorely repented, as it was the cause of 
nuich trouble, and was the origin of the fieshy covenant. This, 
son was to represent a nation of people: and as any other seed 



Fixed Laics of the N{itions 209 

planted, it brought forth the same kind of fruit as was planted. 
We find his nature in Gen. 16 :12. And he will be a wild man, 
his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand 
against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his breth- 
ren ; or the house or tribes of Ishmael shall live among or near 
the house or sons of Isaac, and from the beginning, first as 
children, and then as nations, they have persecuted the seed of 
Isaac, the children of the promise. See Gal. 4 :28-29. 

Now we, as Isaac was, are the children of promise, but, as 
then, "he that was born after the fiesh pei^ecuted him that 
was born after the spirit," even so it is now. Ishmael 's coven- 
ant was that of circumcision. Gen. 17 rlS-l-l. His blessing in 
the 20th verse, and as for Ishmael, I have heard thee ! beheld I 
have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply 
him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make 
him a great nation, because he was the seed of Abraham. Gen. 
21:13. 

Now we will look at their general characteristics and adap- 
tabilities as a nation. Traders and merchants. Gen. 37 :25-28. 
Complexion dark as a rule. Gen. 25 :16-18. We find them dwel- 
ling in towns and castl<?s, ^reat for display, each nation or 
tribe with their princes or king, twelve according to their nation. 
They are not tillers of the ground, as is the house of Jacob. 
They never were, nor never will be shepherds. 

We find by comparing these facts, that God has kept them 
together by the fixed laws of their natures, their hand against 
others, and others' hands against them; there is not much affili- 
ation with or for other nations. This is why there is such marked 
distinction, and they are so easily known. The Jews of today 
never were in captivity, and their history is not as completely 
Biased as is. the house of Jacob, just as God said would occur 
to them (Israel). Ps. 73 and 137:37. The spiritual birth be- 
longed to Isaac and his seed. What a different preparation. 
God had foretold his name, and also that through his seed, his 
(God's) everlasting (spiritual) covenant was to be established; 
flesh is not everlasting, but the spirit endureth forever. The 



210 Bible Phrenology 

anofpl of God visited Sarah and Abraham ; now notice the differ- 
ent plan for Isaac's birth to that of Ishmael, which was born 
after the fleshy plan. It is plain to understand why these coven- 
ants were different. Now follow this further on and see where 
Isaac prayed to God for children. The Lord heard, and said 
he vv'as to be the father of two nations, two manner of people, 
and one nation was to be strong-er than the other. This fixj^d 
law was begun at their birth, was established for them before 
they were born; both of the same parents, twins at that. AVe 
also learn that this fixed law is to remain with them after they 
have become nations; to be handed down to the end of time, that 
they are to be knoAvn by. as the different fruits are known by 
their fixed law. 

Birth of ESxVu and Jacob. Gen. 25 ;2-i. 

Now we ask you to read for yourselves, and notice carefully 
the <lifferent dispositions of these twin brothers. Esau was to 
be a cunning hunter ; as Ave understand the term, sly. His great 
weakness was his appetite. The spiritual blessing should have 
been his, but God saw fit to direct it to his brother Jacob, as 
foretold before they were born, that the elder should serve the 
younger, a,nd we see in II. Samual 8 :14 that all they of Edom 
(Esau) became servants to David. Jacob bought the birth- 
right from Esau by an honest contract, carrying out God's plan, 
yet the manner in which he gained the blessing makes him 
app\nr deceitful; but he, knowing: his father would not permit 
it, therefore took the easiest and best plan. 

These nations did not practice circumcision as a covenant, 
but only as the seed of Abraham ; not deeming it obligatory 
upon them as did the nations of Ishmael (or the Jews of today), 
and soon discarded the custom. We learn that Esau's father 
gavv* him a worldly blessing, as his spiritual blessing had passed 
away from him. Gen. 27:37-40. Behold thy dwelling shall be 
the fatness of the earth and by the sword shalt thou live, etc. 
This corresponds with his nature, a cunning hunter, a shedder 
of b[ood, and to break his yoke (his brother's power) from off 



Fixed Laws of ilie X at ions 211 

thy neck; and he vowed in his heart he would slay his brother; 
he did not do it as a brother, but when they became nations, this 
was accomplished bj^ thy sword. Please read j"s. S'S, and we 
find that they jointly with the nations of Ishmael were the 
persecnters ; for the Ishmaelites had a grievance as well, because 
Isaac had received the greater blessing, which was the spiritual, 
and these were the nations that God had prepared to do this act. 
Deut. 28:47. For Israel was God's workman through whom it 
v:as his purpose to make and perfect this law for the benefit of 
other nations. God could not judge them, or in other words, 
they were not responsible beings until they became acquainted 
with God's laws; then in the end when all nations have received 
the benefit of the law, then the power will return back to Israel 
where it belongs, and the people will be under the spiritual law 
instead of the material as in the past. 

The adaptabilities of the house of Esau, as a nation, are 
soldiers and men of war, possessed of a desire to conquer. 
Rulers, Generals, Governors, King Herod, Julius Caesar were 
of the house of Esau; also Sanballot the Horonite. See Neh. 
2 :19. In Gen. 36 we find the ireneology of the dukes and kings 
of Edom. 

Jacob. Gen. 25 :27. 

Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents; disposition, quiet 
and unassuming; possessing a desire to please; although some 
might consider he did not treat his brother as he should in regard 
to the birthright. He gave all his brother required, and was 
obeying what God had foretold should be done. "We would not 
have had a good description of these nations if this transaction 
had not been left on record, for us to know what kind of seed 
had been planted and what kind of fruit to look for. All these 
descriptive figures were intended as a guide, that we might be 
able to classify the different nations (then tribes) and read 
the marks of God's seal, or fixed law in the foreheads and hands. 
The seal is the house of power; the forehead the intellect, the 
hands are also marks of the tribes, and is a testimony whether 



212 Bible Vhvcnology 

we are working for God or the devil. Tlie same as a secretary 
has the books in his hands of the firm or power he is working for. 
AVhen the change comes it will be so sudden, we will not be abl^^ 
to hide the papers and books we have in our possession, as all 
secret plans are to be known to the world. AVill our work stand 
the test ? "We should all work in harmony with the new covenant 
of Christ. 

Now we will follow Jacob a little further and notice their 
adaptions as a nation. Plain, quiet people, interested in educa- 
tion and in mental and spiritual advancement : the minds de- 
veloping faith in God and his laws. They were shepherds and 
cultivators of the soil, and this is the kind of dispositions God 
required, that he could entrust with his law, to establish it among 
the nations. They learned the Egyptian's arts and sciences and 
even surpassed them in skill, thus proving the depth of their 
natural abilities. 

We will not consider the house of ^Nlanassah in this article, 
as we desire to make a more thorough statement of what Jere- 
miah builded and planted; and as it mostly concerns these three 
nations w^e have partly described. We are endeavoring to prove 
that there was a fixed law from the beginning of these nations 
v>'hereby they can be known today. We find that Ezekiel saw 
these houses which represent a wheel, by all the tribes being 
attracted to one common father: of course these spokes (or 
tribes') were full of eyes, and they went to war, but returned 
to their own people. Ezek. 1 :14. AYe consider this a very 
good proof that these nations are held together by attractions 
of love for each other, as our own households are held together. 
We have given the blessings, covenants and natural adaptabil- 
ities, which is distributed to the sons that became the heads of 
the tribes ; which seed is in the blood and handed down from 
father to son, by which they are to be known as fruit is known. 
Christ said, "By their fruits ye shall know them"; not guessed 
at. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? These 
fruits are handed down from the creation: so are the general 
bent of the peoples' minds from the time they w^re brought 



Fixed Laics of tlte Xatiojis 213 

into existence: and as man has cultivated the different fruits, 
just so it has been God's plan to cultivate, improve and civilize 
us, that we might be of great good to him, as the fruit is to us. 



CHAPTER II. 

Compared Work of Nations. 

We will now show where each nation in turn has proven 
this, when viewed in the proper light. It is a well known fact 
that God revealed his law to the world at large through the 
Mosaic priesthood ; prior to this it was handed doAvn from Adam, 
from father to son, or, those that Gad chose, through the Mel- 
•chesidic priesthood ; the generality of the people was not bene- 
fited prior to the ^Mosaic law, and it was established with Jacob, 
or his twelve sons (that compose the house) which became world 
renowned, and a wonder to all nations; their power was felt, 
^nd other nations became convinced that God was with them. 
Now, when the nations of Ishmael and Edom knew who these 
people were, they envied them, feeling they w^ere the eldest 
sons or nations, and should have received the highest gifts of 
God. Nevertheless they made overtures of friendship, but with 
evil designs, intending the overthrow of the children of Israel. 
In the simplicity of their natures, they did not divine the 
intents and purposes of these people, and through their willing- 
ness to teach the law in public, they were led by these friendly 
pretenses into many and various sins. We find this in Josephus. 
They committed a great sin by disobeying God's commands to 
not marry in strange nations ; this was their weakness, and they 
was also deceived by these two nations, claiming to be of the. 
same origin, the same father Abraham ; which accounts in a 
measure for their blindness; although it was forbidden of God; 
and he saw tit to remove them into captivity for a great purpose ; 
they thought altogether for their sins, yet God had a deeper 
motive, and was preparing them, as well as the other nations, 



214 Bible Phrenology 

for what was, and is yet to come. The seed of Abraham was all 
to be blessed; but how could this be accomplished without a 
knowledge of the law. These two nations, Ishmael and Edom, 
were without the law, and bowed down to idol worship. 

We learn in Ezra 1 the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, 
King of Persia (a direct descendant of the house of Ishmael), 
and he said the Lord of Heaven hath given me all the kingdoms 
of the earth, and hath charged me to build him a house at Jeru- 
salem which is in Judah, thus accepting the Judah or Mosaic 
law, is why they called themselves the Jews. Then God re- 
moved the priesthood from Israel to prepare them for the new 
covenant, the coming of Christ. Jere. 31 :31-33. They were the 
Jews that believed in Christ; yet had no power as to laws or 
earthly influence ; but received him in their hearts as God in- 
tended. At the same time, the nations of Ishmael and Edom w^ere 
learning the laws of Closes. and were becoming a God believing 
people; although they did not accept Christ. They were not 
yet perfect in the law; their minds were not looking for a spirit- 
ual blessing, and are not the tribes of Judah, as is generally 
claimed, though they were around in that part of the country, 
but the Jews that believed in Christ were in humble life. God, 
by the mouth of Jeremiah, made this plan known to the people. 
In the 24th chapter we understand they are represented by the 
two kinds of figs. There was a portion of the tribe of Judah 
that was faithful, and a portion that was disobedient; hence the 
comparison to the good and evil figs; and with reference to the 
good figs or people. He says: "I will bring them again to this 
land, and will build them and not pull them down; I will plant 
them and not pluck them up." This did not occur at the end 
of the seventy years as is generally stated; the time was not 
given ; this is a vile mistake in the history of the Jews. "We 
know those that did return, were plucked up and scattered as^ 
was promised to the evil figs; and the land is a desert today 
as a proof. 

Now what became of the good figs, or people, that God was. 
to protect and keep for his own, as the pure seed of Judah, that 



Fixed Laics of tlie Xaiions 215 

was to receive this great reward. This is one of God's mysteries 
that we may be able to penetrate and understand if we do not 
listen to man's teaching, or the Jews of the present day, but 
follow the events that took place, and ichy they occnred, and we 
will learn that this was done for the good of the world in 
general. In Jeremiah 27, we find what became of them at that 
time. The word of God came to Jeremiah, saying, "Make the 
bonds and yokes and put them on thy neck, and send them to 
the King of Edom, and to the King of Moab. and to the King^ 
of the Ammonites, and to the King of Tyrus, and to the King of 
Zidion"; all of which includes the house of Ishmael: the bonds 
are verses from 4 to 7. AYe find these bonds are to last until the 
very time of his (Judah) land come that they would need no 
more to be plucked up : in other words, until the fulfillment of 
the Gentile time, or fulfillment of their time with the priest- 
hood: for the other nations were without the law, worshipping 
idols and creeping things. God intended to keep the twelve 
tribes (not the ten), for this prophecy came to the tribe of 
Judah while in captivity, what would happen: Jere. 24. Those 
that had not married strange Avives took the bonds, in humble 
life until the other nations had been benefitted with the laws; 
see what a wise plan. AYe find in ]\Ialachi 1 :11 that his name 
shall be great among the Gentiles, and in every place incense 
shall be ofi^ered. Now, those that returned and gave in their 
geneology were the evil figs, and those that married strange 
wives: but they Avere enough to deceive the people. That was 
the blindness for they were warned not to believe that the true 
people was to be returned, for he says, they prophecy a lie 
unto you : but we see the people would rather believe the false 
prophets, and so they do to this day. God knew they would 
make great pretense to restore them ; but the most sacred 
vessels and the arl' eliel not return, that has been sufficiently 
proven since: then why believe a lie any longer? The question 
is, why should our wise men make such blunders in history? 
Because God has said, let their eyes be darkened (Judah or seed 
of Jacob), Rem. 11:10, that they may not see, and bow down 



216 Bible Phrenology 

their backs always; (while we are in bondage to other nations). 
Rom. 11 :25, For I would not, brethren, that you should be 
ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your ow^n 
conceit. Their bonds had not yet expired in Paul's time; he 
knew, but dare not reveal it, as it was God's desire they should 
come by faith in Christ and Salvation ; then this historical 
blindness will cease, they will become aware of their power, 
emerge from humble life, and all stand on more equal footing, 
and the other nations having the law and understanding, are 
also subject to faith iii Christ and higher powers. Rom. 12. 

Now if the fall of Israel, by being in subjection to the other 
nations by the bonds, be the richest of the world, (giving the 
law of the Gentiles and to all nations, through which if obeyed, 
they gain eternal life), how much more happy Israel will be 
when returned to power again, to know that through their suf- 
'fering this overthrow, they have opened up the Avay for all 
other nations to learn of God. the way of Salvation through 
the law and Christ. He has also said he would punish these 
other nations as he did Israel if they do evil. God could not do 
any worse by them than he has punished Israel. 



CHAPTER III. 

Return of the Captives. 536 b. c. 

\\'e will now give a close observation of the return of those 
out of captivity. Ezra 1. Now in the first year of Cyrus, King 
of Persia, we have already learned w^hat Jeremiah said, that 
the tribe of Judah and Israel were to take bonds to obey other 
nations ; so this is what is going to be fulfilled before the return 
of Judah ; first. King Cj^rus is a king of the house of Ishmael ; 
find in this house God restores the priesthood. Jere. 28 :14. For 
thus sayeth the Lord of hosts : I have put a yoke of iron upon 
the neck of all these nations (the tribes of Judah and Israel) 
that they may be servants, Jere. 22 :5, and advised to build houses 
and plant gardens. Verse 28. For he sent unto us into Babylon, 



Fixed Laws of the Nations 217 

saying this captivity is long (meaning the bonds, for the seventy 
years was then nearly expired, 606 B. C.) ; and they were expect- 
ing to return when this new order came. 

Now it will be necessary to take particular notice, as this 
comes from Jeremiah, and he begins his first building, restoring 
or planting. See Ezra 1. Cyrus, King of Persia, made a procla- 
mation. Verse 2. The Lord God of heaven hath given me all 
the kingdoms of the earth ; He hath charged me to build him a 
house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. Now this is the last 
link of history. It was not the tribe of Judah that restored the 
priesthood and built the Temple at Jerusalem as is generally 
believed. King Cyrus asked those of the house of Israel to help 
him, that would of their own free will. Verse 7. Cyrus brought 
forth the vessels of the house of the Lord ; perhaps he had some 
of the minor things, but he did not get the holy vessels, as we 
learn further on ; and at last had to make their own by descrip- 
tion as given in the IMosaic law. In Ezra 2, we find the record 
of those that returned; but they could not show their father's 
house ; their seed, whether they ivere of Israel ; they sought their 
register, but it was not found and they as polluted were put 
from the priesthood. These people seem to be the evil figs that 
Jeremiah said \\ould return to be persecuted, and become a 
hiss and a by-word. Josephus was present at the destruction 
of the Temple by Titus, A. D. 70, and desired them to surrender 
as they had brought the Hebrew under contempt. Joseph' is 
says they confessed to the truth, that they were the scum, the 
spurious, discarded offsprings of our nation ; and usurped the 
name of Jews or Hebrew, that they might appear less impious 
in the sight of strangers. This is true of these Jews today, 
knowing they sprang from Hagar, the servant, and with those 
that would not desert their strange wives, are what compose 
this class of people. 

We could explain many more points of truth along th"s 
line of history, and may sometime, but it would make our 
article too long, and take us away from the subject we most 
desire to bring before the people at this time. We find in 



218 Bible Phrenology 

Chron. 13, that they start the building, and perhaps some of 
the good figs (peoplej were there at work. In the 4th chapter 
we find the adversaries (and we must keep in mind who those 
advarsaries are, the Arabians, are the Ishmaelites, also the 
Medes), of Judah and Benjamin heard the children of the 
captivity (of the bonds) had builded the Temple. Ezra. 6. 
Darius, King of Persia, made a search where the treasures 
or books were kept, and a record was found, which they ac- 
cepted and was sure the order w^as for them before they would 
permit any further work. In the 14th verse is another proof 
that the children of Israel builded for others to be planted, 
for they builded according to the commandment of the King 
of Persia, which God had commanded through the mouth of 
Jeremiah; and no doubt they enjoyed the work, thinking in 
time they would be restored to power. They could not keep the 
Levis with them, they came and went home as their work was 
done. In Ezra 9 we find that he (Ezra) is left alone with his 
evil figs; and he acknowledges the condition of bonds spoken 
of by Jeremiah, chapter 28. And after all of Ezra's trouble in 
separating them from their strange wives, and their promises 
to him, yet ten years later (Neh. 13) we find that in Nehemiah's 
dealings with them, he found b}^ their language and actions, 
they were not the people he thought they were. He was wrath, 
and smote them and plucked the hair of their heads, and made 
them swear they would do better. Yet in following their history 
later by Josephus, we find they still have their strange wives; 
and this again is proof that what Jeremiah said about the evil 
figs came true; for as the house of Ishmael became educated, 
and able to handle the priesthood, they said, "Let us take to 
ourselves the promises of God (or priesthood) " ; so they did take 
charge of it and required these people to establish the priesthood 
for them and teach them the law, and when that Avas accom- 
plished, they turned them away. Also Manasseh and his strange 
wives. 

When the Ishmaels took possession of the priesthood, they 
were very particular about marrying, as they practiced circum- 



Fixed Laws of the Nations 219 

clsion ; this being the covenant between God and the Ishmael 
people. 

We will now return to Nehemiah 1, and notice concerning 
the Jews that had escaped. AVhat did they escape ? Their seventy 
yee^Ys captivity was long expired at this time. It was the 
captivity of the bonds; only the good figs (or people that had 
a good record, and had not married strange wives, thereby be- 
coming degenerated), took the bonds to remain in obscurity; 
yet had the privilege of going where they pleased. This was 
much better than the seventy years captivity. 

Now, Nehemiah takes this remnant, and here is proof again 
that there were many that did not escape this second captivity. 
See Neh. 2 :9-20. We find the same people that gave Ezra 
trouble are bobbing up, and are sorely grieved, that a man 
should come seeking the welfare of the children of Israel. In 
Neh. 7 we find that the people are again gathered together; 
the nobles that they might be reckoned by geneology, verse 61, 
and they could not show their father's house, nor their seed 
whether they were of Israel. Verse 64. They sought their 
register among those that were recorded by geneology; but it 
was not found; therefore they as polluted were put from the 
priesthood and could not eat of the holy things, till there stood 
up a priest with Urim and Thummim, or the proper priestly 
garments, and we consider this another proof that their so 
styled noble men were of the vilest figs. 

What is your opinion, reader, of these people? Yet these 
people were growing in strength and sought the Mosaic law 
(Neh. 8), and imitated the best they could under the circum- 
stances, still we see they did not have the holy vessels, as Jere- 
miah said they were not to go back, yet people are so willing 
to believe false teachers instead of God's word. , Nehemiah 
acknowledged this bond condition. See chapter 9 :36. Behold, 
we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest 
unto our fathers, to eat the fruit thereof, and the good thereof, 
behold ^ve are servants in it; and it yieldeth much increase unto 
the kings whom thou hast set over us ; also they have dominion 



220 Bihle Phrenology 

over our bodies at their pleasure, and we are in great distress, 
Ezra and Nehemiah were of the true seed, yet it was God that 
stired them up to establish the priesthood for the other nations 
is plainly to be seen. Neh. 11 :24. Judah or the children of 
Zerah was at the king's command. AYe read in Joel, 3d chapter, 
that they sold them to the Grecians when they got through with 
them, they also sent them through the nations as teachers ; 
and by this method. t\ie Romans were enabled to establish the 
educational system. In regard to the children of Israel, God 
said they would be scattered among all nations, and shine as 
stars among a perverse generation. 

Return again to Nehemiah 13, and you can learn something 
of how they run the priesthood in the absence of Nehemiah. 
See 7th verse. And I came to Jerusalem and understood of the 
evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah. (He was one of the enemies 
of Israel.) They were having a grand feast, and it was dis- 
covered that the Levites that had done the work were not there ; 
they had fled every one to his field. AYe will direct you to Psalm 
137, which appears to have been written on this occasion, and 
priesthood, see Malachi 1 :11, for the promise to all nations. For 
they that carried us away captives, required of us a song; and 
they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, sing us one 
of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord's songs in a 
strange land. This feeling was caused by their bondage to 
strangers, or, to other nations; yet as we see it, this was God's 
plan; for those that obeyed God, were not harmed and had 
plenty, only they were humbled and stripped of power. The 
two nations were contending for supremacy and the priesthood 
for two hundred years^. 

YVe learn in ancient history that the Sadusees and Pharisees 
were a class of people who went to Greece and were educated 
in the law ; they did not drop their pedigree, hence can be traced 
back to Ishmael as their father, and not to Isaac or Jacob ; and 
the Romans, or house of Edom, trace their origin back to Abra- 
ham through Esau, although they have tried to conceal it by 
claiming to originate from Romaics, or, the she- wolf nursed 



Fixed Laws of the Nations 221 

them ; yet we have history that plainly traces them back to 
EsaiT. They were also promised the priesthood and prepared a 
class of their people called the Maccabees for their singers and 
priesthood, see Malachi 1 :11, for the promise to all nations. For 
from the rising of the sun, even from the going down of the 
same, my name shall be great among the Gentiles, and in every 
place incense shall be offered unto my name. 

This is why the priesthood was not done away with when^ 
Christ came, because there were many nations without the law. 
So we conclude that Jeremiah was about correct when he made 
this statement in regard to pulling down and building up ; but 
the promise is still to the house of Jacob, there being no -house 
of Judah after the}^ took the bonds; for they all acknowledged 
that they are servants in their own land, at the time they were 
building the priesthood, for the evil figs to disgrace, and bring 
reproach upon the tribe of Judah. But when the truth is known, 
Judah will be free, and the disgrace will rest upon those to 
whom it belongs, to the house of Ishmael. We know they are 
the nations that crucified Christ, and did many wicked things 
according to the general view; but this was a part of God's 
great plan, for he told the Israelites this would be if they sinned. 
See Deut. 28:49-50. John, the Revelator, knew these Ishmael 
Jews were deceiving the people. In Rev. 2:9 he said, ''I know 
thy works and tribulations and poverty (or make belief as the 
Jews today) but thoai art rich, and I know the blasphemy of 
them which say they are Jews (or tribe of Judah) and are not, 
but are the synagogues of Satan"; again, Rev. 3:9, "Behold I 
will make them of the synagogues of Satan, which say they are 
Jews, and are not, hut do lie; behold I will make them to come 
and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved 
thee." We understand by this, that they are to bow down to 
the proper tribe of people in the fullness of time; which will 
ere long be revealed to the world. These people (the Ishmael 
Jews) are the greatest money loaners of the world, and were 
then; they made of the priesthood a means of traffic to make 
money; and in this, exhibit the true nature and adaptabilities 



222 Bible Phrenology 

of this house of Ishmael, and n roves this fixed law of trade was 
handed down from their father ; and they get the best of the bar- 
gain in every transaction with the Gentiles. By their fruits wo 
are to know them. Read Gal. 4:22-29. He that was born after 
the flesh, persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even 
so it is now. There was a hatred existed between these three 
fathers. Ishmael hated Isaac, for Isaac had received a blessing 
of a higher order, which was that of the spiritual. Esau hated 
Jacob for buying his birthright. So this feeling has been 
handed down for a purpose, that of keeping the people from 
mixing up in marriage promiscuously and becoming degenerated : 
this fixed law, or feeling, keeps them in a measure to their own 
people as we see them today. In Gen. 27 :40 remember, Esau 
was to break his brother's yoke (or power) from off his neck, 
and live by the sword; this his people had accomplished when 
Christ came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The people 
of Esau were in power as governors at that time, with the 
Ishmaelites handling the priesthood, as long as they would pay 
Rome a tribute. Zacharias, mentioned in Luke 1, was a Levite 
and of the proper blood, but the Ishmael Jews did not seem to 
know it; God had raised him up for a purpose; and as soon as 
the Ishmael Jews learned what great power his son, John the 
Baptist, began to exhibit, they were afraid, and killed him, also 
John. See Luke 11 :51. This was the second Zacharias that 
was killed by the Ishmael Jews. In St. John 8 :31, Jesus said 
to those Jews who believed on him (verse 32), "Ye shall know 
the truth, and the truth shall make you." Now this created a 
feeling of resentment to spring up in the hearts of the false 
Jews. (See Rom. 2:28-29). For he is not a Jew which is one 
outwardly, but he is a Jew which is one inwardly, and circum- 
■cision is that of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter, 
whose praise is not of men but of God. They knew these were 
the 1 roper Jews that were in bondage to them and they ques- 
tioned his right to do this. See St. John 2 :33. They say we be 
Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man; how 
sayest thou, ye shall be made free? Now this is what Christ 



Fixed Laws of the Nations 223 

meant: If they had believed on him, and acknowledged that 
they were not of the house of Judah, they would have been free 
from that great sin of deceiving the people, and in the same 
act would have released the proper Jews from these bonds; for 
Jesus answered them, saying, ^'Whosoever committeth sin is 
the servant of sin." So this false position proved they were the 
servants of sin. He further says to them, "The servant abideth 
not in the house forever, but the Son abideth ever." (See Gal. 
4:30). The son of the bond woman shall not be heir w^ith the 
son of the free woman. So then, brethren, we are not children 
of the bond woman, but of the free. Now we have shown that 
these so-called Jews of today, are the direct descendants of the 
servant Hagar: they sprang from that house, and did not exist 
prior to Ishmael, yet Abraham was Ishmael's father, but in 
Isaac was the seed called. Christ said to them, "I speak that 
which I have seen with my father, and ye do that which ye 
have seen with your father." (Ishmael, his hand against every 
man, even Christ). Christ proved this fixed law of descent 
from the house. St. John 8 :44 is a good illustration of how the 
Ishmael nations have deceived us, but Christ was not deceived. 
He knew, but the time had not come to reveal these things that 
were to come through faith in Christ. His new covenant did 
not come into effect until his death and resurrection. Matthevv^ 
21:43. Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God (the 
priesthood) shall be taken from you, and given to a nation 
bringing forth the fruits thereof; because they had made his 
house a den of thieves and brought the priesthood into disrepute, 
by their weakness to make money by their trade. Ye shall know 
them by their fruits. (The Ishmael Jews). See what Paul says 
about these Jews of the circumcision, Titus 1:10-11. "That 
they are deceivers for the filthy lucre's sake." They became so 
rich and impudent, they would no longer pay tribute to Rome 
(neither do they want to pay taxes today), so there wg i war, 
that history gives a very accurate account of, and it tern ••ated 
in Titus burning the temple : then came the change. Christ re- 
told that the priesthood was to be given to another nation bring- 
in sr forth fruits. 



224 Bible Phrenology 

At this time the Romans were sun and planet worshipers, 
and of varioiLS idols. In time they came forth with the priest- 
hood and Ave find that the priesthood is still with the house of 
Edom. AYe know this by tracing their descent and the changes 
they have passed through and they now claim the descent. from 
Abrahiam and Moses, as did the Ishmaelites ; yet they could not 
claim the tribe of Judah. but permitted Ishmael Jews to retain 
their Sabbath day and worship as they pleased. (See Josephus, 
page 486). 

Now the cities illtreated the Jews in Asia, took away their 
sacred money, and did not allow them the same privileges they 
did before. Caeser Augustus, high priest and tribune, said, 
' ' Since the nations of the Jews hath been grateful to the Roman 
people, not only at this time, but in times past also, and chiefly 
Hycramas under my father, Caeser the Emperor." This state- 
ment goes to show he did not mean the Israelite Jews, for they 
did not help the Romans, but the Ishmael Jews did help them 
to kecD the Israelite Jews in submission, and for this reason are 
1o be allowed to make use of their ancient customs, and their 
Sabbath day, and it would also practice another deception on 
the minds of the people and they wiU not investigate. But John 
the Revelator tells us that one of the churches was a fraud, 
Noiv will you investigate. AYe only deal in facts as we find them 
in history, and there are so many truths that spring up before 
ns while writing, we hardly know which is best to present to the 
public. So Jeremiah has pulled doA\"Q and built up another 
nation: and there is still another change to take place in the 
near future, of wliich we will not deal in this article, but will 
ask the reader to draw a comparison between the blessings and 
nature of these people and the manner in which the Romans 
handle the priesthood. 

AYe found of Jacob, with his desire to educate, and through 
their simplicity of nature and kindness to strangers, they per- 
mitted their people to sin by marrying in strange nations. Ish- 
mael's house or people fell into sin by too great a desire for trade 
and money making. So now comes the Romans, and their sin is 



Fixed Laws of the Nations 225 

brought about by Esau's cunnino:, sly or hidden manner of 
conducting the priesthood. The hunter would be sly in order 
to obtain his game ; so they do their work in a secretive manner, 
behind closed doors; this is one reason why some think their 
deeds would not bear investigation. In their early history, they 
used the Esau sword pretty freely to compel the people to obey 
their law, and they would do the same again if they deem it 
necessary. By their fruits we are to know them. 



CHAPTER IV. 

The time is fast approaching when we may know the truth. 
Christ said the truth will make us free. We have a bad habit 
of believing what somebody says, instead of investigating for 
ourselves, and hold fast to the promises and believe on Christ. 
He told us to. beware of the Pharisees, that they are hypocrites 
and liars. 

How many believe the Jews of today are the children of 
Israel, because they can trace their origin back to Abraham ; but 
that does not make them the tribe of Judah. The Romans can 
trace their origin back to Abraham ; yet no one thinks of calling 
them Jews, though they are more nearly related to the children 
of Israel than Ishmael, for these nations were twin brothers and 
have the promise, "In Isaac shall the seed be called." They 
will be largely instrumental in bringing about this great day. 

There are not many that is taking heed to the changes that 
are creeping upon us, but it is truth all the same. We should 
believe what Christ said, giving heed to the word of God, keep 
the laws, and the blessings of promise are ours, and we need not 
expect it till we do this. 

This is our plan of investigation, and it is plain to us why 
the children of Israel were cast away, and into bonds of other 
nations, also the meaning of Paul's words, when he said it is 
the riches of the world. It has been the means of other nations 
becoming civilized and educated in the law. Compare the people 



-26 Bible Phrenology 

then and now. We now have to go to the dark races to find 
idol worship, and many of them are becoming civilized ; yet the 
world is not perfect, the work is not doiie, and will not be until 
the spiritual power and rule of the new covenant is established; 
and this will take place in the fullness of Gentile time (or the 
nation with the priesthood), which is near upon us. 

We find this same fixed law that rules the nations and tribes, 
is to be the same in the future, when they will all give an account 
of the way in which they have made use of the law. When the 
seals are opened there will be no excuse as there has been plenty 
of time and opportunity. These houses we are representing 
to you, have been referred to by mcst of the prophets as the 
great beasts that was full of eyes, sometimes as trees, others as 
chariots and horses. The mark of the beast is the mark of the 
house to which they belong, each recognized by this fixed law 
of nature; and as facts in history reveal this same law for the 
future, so it must be with us at present. See. Rev. 6:2. He 
that sat on the white horse (house of Jacob) to which the 
promise was given of the everlasting covenant, through which 
Christ the conqueror came. Then came the red horse (house of 
Esau), and in the beginning was given a sword to take peace 
from the earth and kill one another. Esau vowed he would slay 
his brother, and was to live by the sword. Verse 5. Behold a 
black horse (this compares with the Jewish complexion as a 
rule), and he that sat on the black horse, had a pair of balances 
in his hand (born with them in his hand perhaps). Terse 6, 
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, say a measure 
of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, 
and hurt not the oil and the wine (or anything else that can 
be sold). 

These things should convince any one that the Jews of today 
are not, and never were Judah or Israel ; for they have changed 
not, and never were in bondage, never did follow the occupation 
of the shepherd, neither have they any inclination in that direc- 
tion They have not the ability to attain to the fine mechanical 
arts, or to any of the occupations, for which the children of Israel 



Fixed Laws of the X at ions 227 

became so famous. History does not show that they ever did 
anything of the kind ; only as they themselves tell it for the 
sake of polic5^ Of late years they have tried to colonize some 
of the Jews. Does it pay? No ! never will. They boast of their 
cast of features never changing. Read Jeremiah, chapters 43 
and 49: see God's judgment against Moab and Ammonites, tribes 
of Lot, Kodar, tribes of Ishmael, Edomites and Chaldeans of 
Babylon. 

The time it has taken to pull down and build up all these 
nations is too much to give in this article, but history will tell how 
long and when : but a greater portion of this has come to pass. 

Where are those nations ? Some of them exist yet, but under 
new names, and under different laws. The land is a desert where 
most of this took place and these powers herein represented are 
the people who held Israel and Judah in bondage; and for the 
Ishmael Jews to now acknowledge these bonds and yet try to 
suppress from power as in days of old would be very disastrous ; 
for they claim to be the original people (Israel) and now to 
openly declare their power, would be a public acknoAvledgement 
of who they are. Their manner of control now is somewhat on 
the secret order, and through the power of money. This is plain 
tv) us and we feel it a duty to declare it and give all a fair chance 
if they will only take heed to their Avays ; furthermore we believe 
that this has to be all straightened at the closing of this century. 

Now we learn from Jere. 50 :4-7 that after all of this pulling 
down and destroying of the powers, that in the end or in these 
days, after all was over, that the children of Israel shall come. 
they and Judah together, and seek the Lord, and said let us 
join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant (Christ) that 
shall not be forgotten. AYe find they are now together, con- 
sulting what to do; and from ascertained facts of history have 
been together since they took the bonds. They became a flourish- 
ing vine of humble estate ; then they were all called by the name 
of Israel, and that is the proper name of the house, and Judah 
returns to it. All the disgrace Judah is under is losing his name 
ao a power, but this will be removed. Judah and Israel were 



228 Bible Phrnwlogy 

spoken of separately for five Inmdred years; and this misleads 
so many in the belief that they remained separate. Ezekiel refers 
to the nations as sticks or rods ; 37 :19-20. 

We see they were joined together to be no more two nations; 
Jndah and Israel, to walk together ; they were oppressed together 
by those that took them captive ; who they were that took them 
captive we have already stated most clearly. 

The 5th chapter of Nehemiah gives a good acconnt of the 
advantage gained by the Ishmael Jews over the Israelites, by 
mortgages on their farms, something like the circumstances of 
the people in the present day. It is an old saw, but a true one, 
that history repeats itself, and we venture to say that in time 
Israel will repeat their power, emerge from their life of obscurity 
(as in times past they came out from the bondage of Egypt, also 
the forty years in the wilderness), and surprise the world. But 
when they come together through faith in Christ, they will be 
again planted never to he plucJted up. 

When the house of Israel was in power, they were classed 
in tribes, and was each of a different habit and occupation, 
symbolical of the churches that have been brought together 
through a belief in Christ. Yet we are told there will be strang- 
ers found with them, not of the house of Israel, but all are 
v.elcome that accept Christ as their high priest. The churches 
(not the synagogues) came into existence through the teachings 
of the new covenant, that was promised Israel. So they, as the 
ti'ibes of Israel, should be, or have been, dra.wn together in the 
different churches representing the different tribes. 

There are people who go from one church to another until 
they find one that harmonizes with their nature ; many times 
each member of the family belonging to a dift'erent church. 
This is the separation spoken of by Christ in ^latthew 13 -.30 
and 24:31, and as in Luke 12:53-57. "When you see a cloud 
rise out of the west, ye say there cometh a shower, and so it is, 
and ye see the south wind blow, ye say there will be heat. Ye 
hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, and of the earth, 



Fixed Laws of the Sations 229 

but how is it that ye do not discern this time, yea, and why 
even of yonrselves judge ye not what is right." 

These are mysteries confronting the people today, which 
would be no mystery if we would seek for truth instead of 
doctrines ; praying God to open up our understanding, that faith 
jnay receive sight, and we be no longer in darkness. 



CLOSING REMARKS. 



The tribes are not all born strictly under these signs now^ 
although they influence them more or less, when not crossed with 
strange tribes, while other nationalities that have the Israelite 
blood will be noticeable, for the law of marrying our opposites 
in nature has kept us in the form of a wheel. It has been 
stronger than the signs in many people. These things have to 
be taken into consideration. When the twelve tribes were in 
captivity and the work was all done by hand, the signs then had 
a stronger effect, when all were interested alike, and had nothing 
else to attract their attention. These are the talents God has 
given us ; Matthew 25 :14. Those that have ten will need to add 
ten more by education and investigation. AYe can only double 
our talents by improving the mind, by study and by learning- 
something useful every day. We do not have to depend upon 
schools. While books are so cheap, no one need be without a 
full knowledge. The time is near at hand when a teacher will 
need to be a philosopher and a minister— a divine and scientific 
philosopher. As we are today only about one-half of the intel- 
l(;ct is active in two-thirds of the people. 

Since we have been polarized in marrying our opposite in 
nature, it has equalized the intellect; for instance, the tribe of 
Dan to marry in the tribe of Joseph, Dan being deficient in the 
organ of self esteem, and Joseph deficient in human nature, this 
cultivates and improves the intellect of the offspring. It has the 
effect to balance the mind. Now we will say that Joseph is also 
attracted to Asher for much the same reason, and another qual- 
ity. Joseph is not a very plentiful provider, and Asher goes to 
extremes in providing. This is another equalizer. Judah is firm 
and unyielding, so he is attracted to Issachar, to humble his firm 



-32 Bible Phrenology 

nature and elevate Issachar's humble nature. All receive some 
benefit. 

The heads of the people in ancient times were very extreme 
in shape, and of one idea. The heads of the tribe of Judah were 
all in the direction of the organ of firmness:' that of Joseph, 
representing the organ of self esteem. This no doubt was why 
they divided the house of Israel. Both were rulers. We learn 
this from reading the history of them, and the deeds they did. 
This has gone on until today we have become a well balanced 
hrain power as a nation or nations, for the rule that governs the 
liouse of Jacob is at work with the other nations also, the excep- 
tion being when we have married in strange blood. Women 
have received the same benefits from this interchange of the in- 
tellect as men. God has not made any distinction that we can 
find. Knowledge is power, and is a benefit to those that gain it, 
whether woman or man. While we may be born with a good 
intellect, Ave have to cultivate it. or it Avill remain useless. This is 
in the power of woman as well as man. Not because a man is 
bom a man is he wiser than a woman: the difference is in the 
effort they make to improve their talents. 

Any kind of dissipation weakens the brain power and de- 
stroys the spiritual life. Spitting is the greatest waste of brain 
and spiritual life there is. It drains the blood and nerve force 
of the material that gives it action, life, power and force, giving 
in return a sad foreboding of evil, lack of courage, and faint- 
heartedness. Tobacco has caused more heart failures and sudden 
deaths than whisky. AYe learn this from the United States Dis- 
pensatory. Why wise men and women will allow such a poison- 
ous, vile thing to rob them of the very essence of life is a 
mystery. It seems to us a vile plague or curse; a sly way the 
devil has of stealing the hearts and minds of men, and they enjoy 
it as one of the great pleasures of life, and knowing it to be so 
degrading, leaving the animal nature to roam at will, taking 
them into all kinds of trouble without restraint, with the spirit 
conscience so weak and helpless that they are unable to enforce 
the laws to protect themselves and others. 



Closing Remarks 233 

It will be a question asked by many why there can be differ- 
ent tribes in the same family. Jacob was father of all the twelve 
tribes. God's fixed law is in the blood. Acts 18:26. The blood 
is oiir life, and we could not be the parent of a child if the blood 
was not in our veins. If one had colored blood, he might be 
parent of a coJored child, yet he himself were wdiite. If he have 
Irish and English blood, he may become the parent of either, 
then again, if the child was represented by both bloods, it is 
more than likely he would have a deformity or weakness of some 
kind. It is not always the case. It would surely have an un- 
happy disposition. A pure blood of either nation will surely 
produce its own kind, and under the existing marriage law more 
than likely have a representation of any of the tribes. To illus- 
trate the fixed law of marriage we will say, the body of a tree is 
the parents, the limbs the children or tribes ; the lower limbs the 
servant tribes, the top limbs the royalty, and if the parents 
happen to be of a weaker tribe than the children they will rule 
the parents, if there is no one to interfere. This is the reason 
some parents cannot control their children. By knowing the 
tribes your child represents, you have a much better chance to 
learn how to control him while young and under the parents' 
control. It will not do to let them become grown up before cor- 
rections begin. That will do for some, but not for others. When 
the tribes are all united again with their own tribes, the children 
will then be wdth their o^^ai tribes, and will be under the proper 
instruction and easily controlled, as the parent and child Avill 
then understand each other. As it is few parents know their own 
<ihildren. When we exercise as much knowledge in marrying as 
we do in grafting fruit trees, there will be a great change take 
place for the better in our homes. AYe study the trees for the 
hest results in grafting, and close our eyes in choosing a partner 
for life, regardless of results. 

These nations have all begun with an inferior people, as you 
will no doubt learn, but time in God's hands has moulded them 
all into a grand and noble people, as the potter does the clay. 
WHiile there are many inferior ones, yet there are a great num-

ber that are almost perfect ; handsome men and women, wise and 
intelligent. This means a change for the better some time in the 
near future. There will be something for them to do. We are 
promised a new heaven and a new earth. We believe these peo- 
ple are prepared for this country, especially those that are living 
in harmon with God's law. I. Cor. 2:7.
